Hi, I'm new to this with sensors and circuits!

I have a pressure transducer that has the output 0-5V according to the datasheet. The supply voltage range is 7V-30V. What voltage should i supply the pressure transducer with? Can I supply it with whatever voltage is in that range and the output would be the same?

 

Yes.
You should say what sensor you are using. So it is a little bit of a guess. The numbers you give are what I have seen before.

That one.

 

Why is the concept of a wide power supply input range apparently such an alien concept?

sorry I'm new. Barely have any experience

We all were there.

So i can supply the transducer with any voltage within the range?

 

This is your data sheet. Assuming you have the version with 0.0 to 5.0 VDC out then yes, supply voltage of 2.0 Volts above full scale (7.0 Volts) to 30 Volts. Always better to ask than release smoke.

So, your default assumption should be that manufacturers know what the capabilities of their products are. You should of course be interested in verifying their claims BEFORE placing a volume order. That is just smart engineering. You can also ask the company directly as a means of developing relationships with people at other companies.

I contacted them and they answered with the data sheet. But thank you for good suggestions!
