Its symbol is &#039;&#039;&#039;μs&#039;&#039;&#039;, a Greek mu for micro and s for second.<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> The microsecond is a common unit of time to use in the fields of science and engineering, especially in high-speed electronics and physics. The speed of light in a vacuum provides an upper limit on the speed at which any information can travel, which is approximately 300 kilometers per microsecond.<br /> <br /> == Applications ==<br /> <br /> In computer architecture, microsecond is a common unit of time. For example, the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Random-access memory|RAM]]&#039;&#039;&#039; access time of many early microprocessors, such as the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Intel 8080]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, was about one microsecond. Modern microprocessors have much shorter times and therefore use nanoseconds (ns) and even picoseconds (ps).<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Nanosecond]]&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Picosecond]]&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Millisecond]]&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Second]]&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Units of time]]<br /> [[Category:SI units]]<br /> <br /> {{Time-stub}}</div>
