The C2000 MCU is biased on the primary side; hence, the primary voltage is sensed by a resistor divider to the ground of the board. As oversampling is used, an op amp in voltage follower arrangement is used to buffer the signal for the ADC as shown in Figure 2-8. The buffer helps reduce impedance as seen by the ADC, and hence, a faster sampling rate can be used. Otherwise, the sampling will be limited by the time constant of the resistor divider resistance, which is typically high, and hence, only slow sampling can be done.
