I have been lately gone into ADC and trying to figure out what is ADC clock why is it useful what is tad, tosc, fosc and those things and how to calculate the ADC clock I have been searching and searching for days and I have read almost all sites available for this topic on internet but I am still small in 8th grade so I cant understand all these hard mathematic operations I would highly appreciate anyone who could explain this to me thanks in advance

ADC stands for analogue-to-digital converter - it's how the PIC measures voltages.

Tosc is the period of the oscillator (clock) and it is equal to 1/Fosc, where Fosc is the frequency of the oscillator (clock). If your clock is 1 MHz, then Fosc = 1 MHz (1000000 Hz) and Tosc is 0.000001 seconds (1 µs or micro-second).
