I have used some very low power op-amps which I have actually powered
from the 1.8 volt ADC reference voltage.  This means they *can't*
drive the ADC inputs to more than 1.8 volts.

They are wired up as simple voltage followers so the output voltage
exactly follows the input voltage.  The op-amps are TI LM10s.  It's
been working for a year or more now and the BBB is all working still.

The LM10 op-amps can handle quite large input voltages without damage.
