Use this converter to quickly translate a DRAM CAS Latency value (in clock cycles) into an access time in nanoseconds based on the memory module's clock frequency. This helps hardware designers and system engineers understand timing requirements when comparing different Memory Module specifications.
Note: Latency (ns) = (CAS latency ÷ Clock Frequency) × 1000
CAS Latency (CL) is the number of clock cycles between issuing a read command and when data is available on the Memory Module's outputs.
How does clock frequency affect access time?Access time in nanoseconds decreases as clock frequency increases. Higher MHz means shorter cycle period.
Why multiply by 1000?Clock frequency is in MHz (million cycles per second), so dividing cycles by MHz gives microseconds; multiply by 1000 to convert to nanoseconds.
Is this the real-world latency?This converter gives the theoretical cycle-based latency. Actual latency may be affected by memory controller delays and other overhead.
