7V to 25V Input with 5V and 1.5A Output Buck Converter Design Using LT1376-5 Controller

This design reference is for 7V to 25V input with 5V and 1.5A output buck converter using LT1376-5 controller. LT1376-5 is monolithic buck mode switching regulator which has a fixed frequency of 500 kHz. The switching element is internal on the controller thus lower component count. The internal switch can able to handle 1.5A current. The controller can be used with

Protecting Devices from ESD Damage

In electronics industry, protecting devices from ESD damage is a must. Electrostatic discharge or simply ESD is a very high voltage spike that can easily damage small signal components such as integrated circuits and low power semiconductors. A common ESD is caused by human body touching to electronic devices. Charges are accumulating inside human body and then when any part
