About Picofarads
The picofarad (pF) equals 10⁻¹² F, the everyday unit for small-signal capacitors in RF and high-frequency circuits. Ceramic chip capacitors range from 0.5 to 100 pF; crystal oscillator load capacitance is typically 12-22 pF; PCB trace-to-trace coupling is 0.1-10 pF/cm; the human body presents roughly 100 pF at radio frequencies. 1 pF = 10⁻³ nF = 10⁻¹² F.
About Nanofarads
The nanofarad (nF) equals 10⁻⁹ F, covering ceramic and film bypass capacitors, ESD protection networks, and resonant filter circuits. X7R ceramic decoupling capacitors are commonly 10-100 nF; RC snubber networks in power electronics use 1-100 nF; audio equalisation and RF tuning networks use nanofarad-range components. 1 nF = 10⁻³ µF = 10⁻⁹ F.
