Convert Femtofarad to Microfarad

Convert femtofarads to microfarads by entering a value below.

1 fF (femtofarads) = 1e-9 μF (microfarads)

How to Convert Femtofarads to Microfarads

The femtofarad and microfarad are both units of capacitance. By definition, 1 microfarad equals exactly 1000000000 femtofarads. This means to convert femtofarads to microfarads, you divide by 1000000000.

Formula

microfarads = femtofarads ÷ 1000000000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 fF to microfarads:

1
Convert 5 fF to microfarads

We need to convert femtofarads to microfarads

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 μF = 1000000000 fF, divide by 1000000000

5 ÷ 1000000000 = 5e-9

Answer

5 fF = 5e-9 μF

About These Units

Femtofarad (fF)

A femtofarad (fF) equals 10⁻¹⁵ farads or 0.001 picofarads. Used in integrated circuit design, parasitic capacitance calculations, and semiconductor modeling. MOSFET gate capacitance is typically 10-100 fF. Critical for high-speed digital circuit timing.

Microfarad (μF)

A microfarad (μF) equals 10⁻⁶ farads or 1,000 nanofarads. The most common capacitor unit for electrolytic capacitors (1-10,000 μF), coupling capacitors, and filter circuits. Power supply capacitors typically use 100-4700 μF. Also written as uF or MFD.
