How to Evaluate Switching Power in CMOS?

Switching Power in CMOS evaluator uses Switching Power = (Positive Voltage^2)*Frequency*Capacitance to evaluate the Switching Power, Switching Power in CMOS formula is defined as energy that is required to charge and discharge the load capacitance. This is called dynamic power because it is consumed when the circuit is actively switching. Switching Power is denoted by Ps symbol.
