picovolt to attovolt
Convert picovolt (pV) to attovolt (aV). Use an editable voltage converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 pV = 1,000,000 aV
Conversion formula
One picovolt equals 1,000,000 attovolt. Multiply your value in picovolt by this factor to get attovolt. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 picovolt:5 × 1,000,000 = 5,000,000 aV

About these measurements
Voltage is electric potential difference.
The base reference used here is the volt. One picovolt is 1e-12 base units; one attovolt is 1e-18 base units.
Important distinctions
This converts units, not RMS, peak, or peak-to-peak representations.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert pV to aV?
Multiply the quantity in pV by 1,000,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the attovolt to picovolt converter.
