Miller Approximation Refresher:
Note that the Miller approxiniation applies to any kind of complex impedance connected between
the nodes that exhibit voltage gain Ay. In geveral, Zy4= Z,/(1-A,). (Here a bold symbol indicates
a complex number). As you know, for capaci 1, = LoC,, 50 it tums out that Cay = Cy
