ADC input minimum current

To use ADC attenuation I need to buffer the pins with voltage dividers. To minimise battery power and use highest resistances what is the minimum input current for an ESP32 analog input pin?

ADC input current will be neglible. However, to get the most accurate results from a high impedance source (like a high value voltage divider) you can add a small buffer capacitor (approx 100nF) between the ADC pin and ground.

Excellent, thanks
