The process of converting an analog voltage to a digital value is broken down into an S+H phase and a conversion phase. The ADC sample and hold circuits (S+H) are clocked by while the ADC conversion process is clocked by ADCCLK. ADCCLK is generated by dividing down based on the PRESCALE field in the ADCCTL2 register.
The S+H duration is the value of the ACQPS field of the SOC being converted, plus one, times the period. The user must make sure that this duration exceeds both 1 ADCCLK period and the minimum S+H duration specified in the data sheet. The conversion time is approximately. See the timing diagrams and tables in Section 18.2.7.1 for exact timings.
