A method for estimating a terminal capacitance associated with a terminal of a cell including a digital circuit includes providing first and second capacitance values associated with an upper and lower bound, respectively, on the terminal capacitance, providing results of a timing analysis of the digital circuit, and determining an estimation value for the terminal capacitance based on the results of the timing analysis and at least one of the first and second capacitance values. A system for estimating a terminal capacitance includes a storage unit which stores the first and second capacitance values and a processor which performs a timing analysis of the digital circuit and determines an estimation value for the terminal capacitance based on the timing analysis and at least one of the first and second capacitance values.
