The circuit in Figure SP 5-1 has three inputs: \(v_1, v_2\), and \(i_3\). The circuit has one output, \(v_0\). The equation \(v_0=a v_1+b v_2+c i_3\) expresses the output as a function of the inputs. The coefficients a, b, and c are real constants. (a) Use PSpice and the principle of superposition to determine the values of a, b, and c. (b) Suppose \(v_1=10 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(v_2=8 \mathrm{~V}\), and we want the output to be \(v_0=7 \mathrm{~V}\). What is the required value of \(i_3\)? Hint: The output is given by \(v_{\mathrm{o}}=a\) when \(v_1=1 \mathrm{~V}, v_2=0 \mathrm{~V}\), and \(i_3=0 \mathrm{~A}\).

Question
The circuit shown in Figure DP 5-1a has four unspecified circuit parameters: \(v_s\), \(R_1\), \(R_2\), and \(R_3\). To design this circuit, we must specify the values of these four parameters. The graph shown in Figure DP 5-1b describes a relationship between the current i and the voltage v.
Specify values of \(v_s\), \(R_1\), \(R_2\), and \(R_3\) that cause the current i and the voltage v in Figure DP 5-1a to satisfy the relationship described by the graph in Figure DP 5-1b.
First Hint: The equation representing the straight line in Figure DP 5-1b is
\(v = - R_{t}i + v_{oc}\)
That is, the slope of the line is equal to 1 times the Thevenin resistance, and the v-intercept is equal to the open-circuit voltage.
Second Hint: There is more than one correct answer to this problem. Try setting \(R_1 = R_2\).
