What is a picojoule per second used for?

A picojoule per second measures extremely small continuous power levels common in microelectronics, photonics, and low-energy digital circuits.

How does a centiwatt relate to a watt?

A centiwatt equals one hundredth of a watt (0.01 W), often used to specify power consumption in ultra-low-power electronics.

Why convert picojoule/second to centiwatt?

Converting picojoule/second to centiwatt helps express very small power levels in more practical terms relevant to low-power devices and sensors.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms power values from picojoules per second (pJ/s), a very small power measurement used in microelectronics and photonics, into centiwatt (cW), a unit commonly applied in low-power electronic systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in picojoule/second (pJ/s)
Select picojoule/second as the from-unit and centiwatt as the to-unit
Click the convert button to see the equivalent power in centiwatt (cW)

Key Features

Converts power units from picojoule/second to centiwatt with precise scaling
Supports measurements relevant to micro/nanoelectronics and photonic sensors
Browser-based and easy to use without additional software
Displays results useful for ultra-low-power device power ratings

Examples

5 pJ/s converts to 5 × 1e-10 cW = 5e-10 cW
100 pJ/s converts to 100 × 1e-10 cW = 1e-8 cW

Common Use Cases

Specifying continuous power draw of ultra-low-power microcontrollers and sensors
Reporting optical power in sensitive photonic detectors or single-photon systems
Expressing energy per operation rates as power in low energy digital circuits
Rating power consumption of low-power electronics and sensor nodes using centiwatt units
Describing outputs from micro-energy harvesters and tiny photovoltaic cells

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure entering correct picojoule/second values for accurate conversion
Use this conversion to better interpret very small power levels practically
Interpret results with care due to very small decimal values involved
