Nanosecond to Microsecond Converter

µs

1. 1 ns × 1e-9 = 0 ns
2. 0 ns ÷ 0.000001 = 0.001 µs

Unit Information

Nanosecond (ns)

The nanosecond is a unit of time equal to one billionth (10⁻⁹) of a second. It is commonly used in computing, electronics, and scientific measurements.

Microsecond (µs)

The microsecond is a unit of time equal to one millionth (10⁻⁶) of a second. It bridges the gap between nanoseconds and milliseconds in timing measurements.
