A nanosecond (ns) is an SI unit of time equal to one billionth of a second, that is, 1/1 000 000 000 of a second, or 10-9 seconds. The term combines the prefix nano- with the basic unit for one-sixtieth of a minute.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, pulsed lasers, and related aspects of electronics.
