Electronic – Pressure Sensor KP125, input Pressure to O/P voltage conversion,

sensor

According to the KP125 Pressure sensor datasheet, the KP125 has an input pressure range from 40 kPa to 115 kPa.
Applied pressure is transferred to an analog output voltage between 0.5 and 4.5 V.

If the input pressure to the Sensor is 80kPa, then how would I suppose to know the output analog voltage, since there is no mention of any step-size or a scale factor.

Best Answer

See page 9 of datasheet. Its linear.

So, 115kpa - 40kpa = 75kpa range.

80kpa - 40kpa = 40kpa above minimum.

4.5v - .5v = 4 volt range.

So, 40kpa * 4v / 75kpa = 2.13v + .5v = 2.63v
