Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve methods and systems for modeling input capacitance for a component of an electronic circuit design to accurately and quickly analyze the performance of the circuit. In particular, the methods and systems may provide for an estimated input capacitance for one or more transistor components of the circuit. To determine the estimated input capacitance of a transistor, a computing system may obtain technical information about the circuit and determine one or more virtual nets that include connections between the adjusted transistor and other transistors (or other components) of the circuit design. This information may be utilized by the computing system to calculate an estimated input capacitance for the adjusted transistor of the circuit design. The calculated input capacitance of the transistor may be added into a simple simulation of the circuit design to obtain one or more operational parameters or circuit performance characteristics.
