For example, a 3-input AND gate has a higher delay than a 2-input AND gate made with the same technology
Using logic gates with higher fan-in is useful when reducing the depth (number of levels) of a logic circuit.
7. Fan-out: The number of load gates connected to the output of driving gate. In digital circuits, it is common for the
output of one gate (called driver gate) to be connect to the inputs of several load gates The fan-out of a gate is
the number of gate inputs it can feed.
There is a limit on the maximum fan-out of a gate.
