Can anybody suggest me a good source of information about ADC? How its accomplish the analog to digital conversion. As I know it uses comparator, but I need deep knowledge. Thanks in advance

What do you mean by "deep knowledge"? To what level? There are many kinds of ADCs and some issues that can be ignored in an 8-bit ADC can't in a 16-bit ADC.

Also, the speed of conversion and the allowable latency are important considerations. If you are going slow enough you can ignore them, but if you are going fast, you can't.

There's no one-size-fits-all level of depth.

But start with a qualitative overview of several different types of ADCs and look at not only the basic approaches but also the pros and cons of each type.
