5vdc to 10vdc converter

[rhod]

Hi there,
I'm working on a project to monitor hydraulic pressure using a 0-7500 psi pressure transmitter. I'm hoping to power the transmitter through USB but the transmitter requires 10vdc to 40 vdc. Trying to design a boost converter to accomplish this. Is this a possible/practical way to do this? If not, looking for any other suggestions on how to power the transmitter you may have.

Thanks in advance for your input and ideas!

How much current does your transmitter require?
