What is load capacitance in CMOS inverter?

Load capacitance in a CMOS circuit is a combination of input capacitance of the following circuit(s) and the capacitance of the interconnect. ( For long interconnects things get more tricky as transmission line effects need to be taken into consideration)

What is load capacitance?

Load capacitance is the amount of external circuit capacitance in parallel with the crystal itself. In parallel-resonance oscillation mode, the crystal’s inductance (motional inductance) is in parallel with the oscillator’s load capacitance, thereby forming an LC tank circuit.

Why load capacitor is used?

Capacitors ( or capacitor bank) are used to improve the operating efficiency of electric power systems and help transmission and distribution system voltage stability during disturbances and high load conditions. Capacitors are used to cancel out the lagging current effects from the motors and transformers.

How is load capacitance measured?

To answer the question regarding measuring capacitance, the simplest way is to inject a frequency (even square wave can suffice) in the middle of your range and measure the response. Knowing the DC and the AC response you can calculate C and R.

Why capacitor is not used as load?

In Power system, Capacitors are nothing but source of reactive power. It used to deliver reactive power to the load. Since when you connect the capacitor on no load, the reactive power should be consumed by nearby feeders, otherwise the source may affected by series voltage rising issues.

What is capacitance in Mosfet?

The drain and source of a MOSFET are insulated from the gate by the gate oxide film. Ciss is the input capacitance, and is the capacitance obtained by totaling the gate-source capacitance Cgs and the gate-drain capacitance Cgd; it is the capacitance of the MOSFET as a whole, as seen from the input.

Which inverter gate can handle high capacitance load?

Explanation: BiCMOS NAND can handle high capacitance load.
