e.g. the nominal value of the NTC that can be connected if the Palmas
is hooked up in a standard way.

If a board has no NTC and uses channel0 for a different purpose one
should choose 0uA.

If it is let's say 10kOhm it should probably be 20uA to give a nominal voltage
reading of 200mV.

100kOhm will give 2V which is at the limit of the ADC input range and
therefore it would be better to choose 15uA or 5uA.

I think choosing extended delay depends on the noisiness of the input
signal but I am not a specialist for this feature.

So I would say the board hardware mandates some specific value.

BR,
Nikolaus
