Conversion Formula
Kibit/s = bit/s × 0.0009765625
About Bits per second
Bit per second (bit/s) is the fundamental SI data-rate unit - one binary digit transmitted per second. Shannon's channel capacity C = B log₂(1 + S/N) expresses maximum achievable bit/s. Early RS-232 serial links ran at 110-9,600 bit/s; GSM voice uses 13 kbit/s; a coin-flip entropy source produces 1 bit/s per flip. 1 bit/s = 0.125 B/s = 10⁻³ kbit/s.
About Kibibits per second
Kibibit per second (Kibit/s) = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 bit/s (IEC 80000-13). The binary-precise counterpart to kbit/s for contexts with power-of-2 bus widths. FPGA serial transceivers are clocked at exact powers of 2; embedded UART baud rates sometimes use 1,024-baud increments. Contrasted with kbit/s (= 1,000 bit/s) in ITU/IEEE standards. 1 Kibit/s = 1,024 bit/s = 128 B/s.
