hi i have a sensor that outputs 1-6vdc and i need to design a circuit that will output 1-5vdc.

thanks

 

Voltage divider.

Hint!!!!!!!

More info in the question = more info in the answer.

What is the circuit? What are you trying to drive?

 

clamp the output at 5VDC with a zener?

 

That won't give him the full range of voltage variation.

Amplifier with a gain of 0.83333

Alternately, just use ohms law and set up a resistor divider.
