Question: You would like to design and simulate a circuit for a piezoresistive differential pressure sensing element with a zero pressure resistance ( R _

You would like to design and simulate a circuit for a piezoresistive differential pressure sensing element with a zero pressure resistance \( R_{0}=1\mathrm{k}\Omega \) and a sensitivity of \(\Delta \mathrm{R}/\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{o}}=0.001/\mathrm{psi}\).
a) What is the expression relating the resistance to pressure?
b) If you choose to bias the resistor at constant current of 1 mA what is the output is V/psi?
c) Is the output of the circuit in b) linear with applied pressure?
d) Design a circuit using a single sensing element, a 5 V power supply, and passive components, that will provide 0 V output at zero pressure.
e) What is the output voltage of the circuit in d) at 20 psi applied pressure? Is the output of this circuit linear with applied pressure?
