How to Convert Megahertz to Nanoseconds
Frequency and period are inversely related. The formula is: T = 1 / f, where T is the period and f is the frequency.
Conversion Steps
- The formula is:
Period = 1 / Frequency - For example, to convert 42 MHz to ns:
- Convert to hertz: 42 MHz = 42 × 1.0e+6 = 4.2e+7 Hz
- Apply formula: T = 1 / 4.2e+7 Hz = 2.38095e-8 seconds
- Convert to nanoseconds: 2.38095e-8 s / 1.0e-9 = 42000 ns
Reverse Conversion
To convert nanoseconds back to megahertz, use f = 1 / T:
- 42000 ns → f = 1 / 2.38095e-8 s = 4.2e+7 Hz → 42 MHz
