Convert microwatt to watts
Microwatt
The microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt (10−6 W). It is used in the context of ultra-low-power electronics, energy harvesting systems, and sensitive scientific instruments such as photodetectors and calorimeters. Many modern microcontrollers and wireless sensor nodes are designed to operate in sleep modes consuming only a few microwatts to extend battery life.
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
