Convert Kibibytes per second to Bits per second
Convert Kibibytes per second (KiB/s) to Bits per second (bit/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
bit/s = KiB/s × 8192
About Kibibytes per second
Kibibyte per second (KiB/s) = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 B/s = 8,192 bit/s (IEC 80000-13). Used in embedded I/O specs and real-time OS throughput documentation. SD card speed classes: Class 10 = 10,000 KB/s ≈ 9,766 KiB/s; UHS-3 = 30,000 KB/s ≈ 29,297 KiB/s. STM32F4 FLASH page write ≈ 16 KiB/s; Arduino Uno SPI at 4 MHz = 500 KiB/s. 1 KiB/s = 1,024 B/s = 8,192 bit/s.
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.
