You may not realise that the ADC is not part of the TS board, it is 
built into the ARM processor. So you should be extra careful never to 
over volt the inputs and to protect against ESD. The inputs are 3.3V 
max.

In practice this really means buffering as suggested above. Something 
like a op-amp configured as voltage follower.

Make sure it's output range goes as close to zero as you need.
