How to Convert Megahertz to Microseconds

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 5 MHz to µs:
  1. Convert to hertz: 5 MHz = 5 × 1.0e+6 = 5.0e+6 Hz
  2. Apply formula: T = 1 / 5.0e+6 Hz = 2.0e-7 seconds
  3. Convert to microseconds: 2.0e-7 s / 1.0e-6 = 5 µs

Reverse Conversion

To convert microseconds back to megahertz, use f = 1 / T:

  • 5 µs → f = 1 / 2.0e-7 s = 5.0e+6 Hz → 5 MHz
