Product Description

The CM3065 family of very low dropout regulators offers both fixed/adjustable-output and fixed-output operation capable of delivering up to 2A of current. The CM3065 devices are fully protected, offering overload current limiting, short circuit protection, high temperature thermal shutdown, and reverse voltage protection to minimize reverse current flow into the output pin.
