Don't the waveforms in Fig. 4 repeat after N phases, where N is resolution of the converter in bits?
Perhaps we are getting tripped up in our terminology. When I say conversion time, I mean the time it takes for one input to be fully converted to digital. Thus, a conversion requires N phases, where each phase lasts the length of a clock cycle. So for a 10-bit converter running with a 100MHz clock, the conversion time would be 100ns, or 10 times the 10ns clock period). Given this example, wouldn't the waveforms in Fig. 4 be periodic with a period of 100ns?
