An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) device equipped with a conversion suspension function and an associated operation method thereof are provided. The ADC device includes: an interleaved clock controller, arranged to generate a first clock signal and a second clock signal according to a master clock signal; and a multi-ADC circuit, coupled to the interleaved clock controller, arranged to perform analog-to-digital conversion. The multi-ADC circuit includes a first ADC and a second ADC, wherein the first ADC performs sampling and conversion operations according to the first clock signal, and the second ADC performs sampling and conversion operations according to the second clock signal. Based on the timing control of the first clock signal and the second clock signal, when any ADC of the first ADC and the second ADC is performing a sampling operation, the other ADC of the first ADC and the second ADC suspends conversion.
