Nanoseconds to microseconds – convert ns to µs
Convert nanoseconds to microseconds (ns to µs) to make ultra-short timing intervals easier to read. Great for high-speed electronics, FPGA design, digital communications and oscilloscope work.
Open the interactive ns → µs converter:
Use main converter (ns → µs) or switch to µs → nsThe time converter also supports microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours and more for longer intervals.
Quick reference: ns to µs
One microsecond is 1,000 nanoseconds, so µs = ns ÷ 1,000. Example values:
| Nanoseconds (ns) | Microseconds (µs) |
|---|---|
| 10 ns | 0.01 µs |
| 100 ns | 0.1 µs |
| 500 ns | 0.5 µs |
| 1,000 ns | 1 µs |
| 5,000 ns | 5 µs |
| 10,000 ns | 10 µs |
| 100,000 ns | 100 µs |
Why convert nanoseconds to microseconds?
ns to µs is useful when you:
- Summarise very fast delays or pulse widths in easier numbers.
- Compare hardware-level timings with software timers that use µs.
- Aggregate many nanosecond events into microsecond-scale totals.
- Teach how the sub-second scale stacks: ns → µs → ms → s.

All sub-second conversions on the homepage use exact powers of 10, so you can safely chain ns, µs, ms and s without rounding surprises.
