Convert Millivolt to Nanovolt
Enter the number of millivolts that you want to convert to nanovolts.
How to Convert Millivolts to Nanovolts
The millivolt and nanovolt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 millivolt equals exactly 1e15 nanovolts. This means to convert millivolts to nanovolts, you multiply by 1e15.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 mV to nanovolts:
We need to convert millivolts to nanovolts
Since 1 mV = 1e15 nV, multiply by 1e15
5 × 1e15 = 5e15
5 mV = 5e15 nV

About These Units
Millivolt (mV)
A millivolt (mV) equals 0.001 volts. Common for sensor outputs: thermocouple 0-50 mV, strain gauge 2-3 mV/V, audio line level 200-775 mV RMS. ECG signals: 1-10 mV. Solar cell open-circuit: 500-700 mV per cell. Critical for instrumentation and signal processing.
Nanovolt (nV)
A nanovolt (nV) equals 10⁻⁹ volts. Measures extremely small signals: SQUID magnetometer outputs, Johnson-Nyquist thermal noise (4 nV/√Hz per kΩ at 300K), precision voltage references. Low-noise amplifier specifications often cite nV/√Hz noise density.
