What is the sequence of events that take place to complete one ADC conversion for the MAX1464?
The sampling is continuous throughout the conversion time according to the ADC clock setting (see the ADC Clock table on page 32 of the MAX1464 data sheet). The sigma-delta converter generates a bit-stream output of the signal over the conversion time. This bit-stream is digitally processed to form a 16-bit output result. Then the sampling of that input channel stops. If the input signal changes during an ADC conversion, the result would be an average of the input values over time.
