what is integration time

what is integration time refering to adc switches etc

An integrating A-D converter measures the input voltage by allowing it to charge a capacitor for a defined period. The integration averages the input signal over the integration time, which if chosen appropriately will average over a complete mains cycle thereby helping to reduce mains frequency interference. The throughput of an integrating converter is not the inverse of the integration time, as throughput also depends on the maximum discharge time.
