Time is measured in seconds and its metric multiples/submultiples (ns, µs, ms, s, min, h). In electronics, timing from nanoseconds (CPU cycles) to hours (battery life) all come up.
Converting between these is essential when reading a datasheet's timing in ns, comparing a signal's period in µs to its frequency in Hz, or expressing a battery's runtime in hours vs. minutes.
Common applications
Reading a CPU clock period in ns; converting a signal's period to frequency; expressing a battery runtime in hours vs. minutes.
Frequently asked questions
The second (s).
1000 ns = 1 µs.
f = 1/T. Convert the period to seconds first, then take the reciprocal.
