Convert Microamperes to Nanoamperes
Convert Microamperes (µA) to Nanoamperes (nA) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
nA = µA × 1000
About Microamperes
The microampere (µA) equals 10⁻⁶ A, common in low-power sensor circuits, analogue signal conditioning, and bioelectrical measurement. Surface ECG electrodes record body currents of 1-100 µA; a 1 mW signal at 5 V draws 200 µA; modern low-power microcontrollers sleep at 1-10 µA, enabling coin-cell operation for months or years. 1 µA = 10⁻³ mA = 10³ nA.
About Nanoamperes
The nanoampere (nA) equals 10⁻⁹ A, typical for reverse saturation currents of silicon diodes, quiescent supply currents of CMOS logic, and microelectrode measurements in analytical electrochemistry. A silicon p-n junction at room temperature has a saturation current of 1-10 nA; a well-designed op-amp input bias current is 1-100 nA; wearable biosensors commonly operate in the nanoampere range. 1 nA = 10⁻³ µA = 10³ pA.
