IS Through put = Conversion Rate ?

[Prasath Ayyalraj]

Hello, As Through put is number of successfull output from ADC (after conversion), shall i consider through put as same as conversion rate?

Not necessarily. If you have a system which does decimation or some kind of averaging your throughput could be less than your conversion rate. For example, you could be sampling at 1 MHz, but averaging 10 samples/output so your CONVERSION RATE would be 1M-sample/sec, but your THROUGHPUT would be 100K-samples/sec.
