Fan-in is the number of inputs a logic gate can handle. For instance the fan-in for the AND gate shown in the figure is 3.[1] Physical logic gates with a large fan-in tend to be slower than those with a small fan-in. This is because the complexity of the input circuitry increases the input capacitance of the device.[2][3] Using logic gates with higher fan-in will help reducing the depth of a logic circuit.
