Homework Statement



Using the level shifter shown below, design a circuit that will shift a signal from from +/- 25 volts (50 volts P-P) to 0 to 5 volts. Assume R1=R3=100K and R2=R4.
In answer 1 give the value for Vref with 1 decimal point of precision

in answer 2 gie the value for R2=R4 in K ohms.

Homework Equations



Vo = (Vin -Vref) R4/(R3+R4) + Vref

The Attempt at a Solution



I am just confused where the R2 takes place... do I just plug and chug

Yeah, just plug and chug while maintaining the equalities they tell you to keep. The formula they've made, that you're plugging and chugging into, depends on these equalities.
