  2. Microsecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsecond

    2.68 microseconds – the amount of time subtracted from the Earth's day as a result of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. [2] 3.33564095 microseconds – the time taken by light to travel one kilometre in a vacuum. 5.4 microseconds – the time taken by light to travel one mile in a vacuum (or radio waves point-to-point in a near vacuum).

    2.6 × 10 11 Qs (8.2 × 10 33 years): The smallest possible value for proton half-life consistent with experiment [19] 10 23 Qs ( 3.2 × 10 45 years ): The largest possible value for the proton half-life , assuming that the Big Bang was inflationary and that the same process that made baryons predominate over antibaryons in the early Universe ...

  5. Nanosecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanosecond

    A nanosecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 31.69 years. A nanosecond is equal to 1000 picoseconds or ⁠ 1 / 1000 ⁠ microsecond. Time units ranging between 10 −8 and 10 −7 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of nanoseconds. Time units of this granularity are commonly found in telecommunications ...

  7. Slew rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slew_rate

    In electronics and electromagnetics, slew rate is defined as the change of voltage or current, or any other electrical or electromagnetic quantity, per unit of time. Expressed in SI units , the unit of measurement is given as the change per second, but in the context of electronic circuits a slew rate is usually expressed in terms of ...

  8. TU (time unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TU_(Time_Unit)

    In some data communication standards, a time unit (TU) is equal to 1024 microseconds. [1] This unit of time was originally introduced in IEEE 802.11-1999 standard [2] and continues to be used in newer issues of the IEEE 802.11 standard. [1] In the 802.11 standards, periods of time are generally described as integral numbers of time units.

  9. Time-to-digital converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-to-digital_converter

    Resolution of 1 ps with a 100 MHz (10 ns) clock requires a stretch ratio of 10,000 and implies a conversion time of 150 μs. [13] To decrease the conversion time, the interpolator circuit can be used twice in a residual interpolator technique. [13] The fast ramp is used initially as above to determine the time. The slow ramp is only at 1/100.
