PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Calogic CLM2850 is a low power 5A adjustable voltage
regulator that is very easy to use. It requires only 2 external
resistors to set the output voltage. This device is an excellent
choice for use in powering Intel
from +5V to 3.3V supplies and as a post regulator for
switching supplies application s.
The CLM2850 offers full protect ion against over -current f aults,
reversed input polarity, reversed load insertion, and positive
and negative transient voltage. On-Chip trimming adjusts the
reference voltage to 1%. The I
load which increases effic iency.
The CLM2850 is offered in a 3-pin TO-220 package
compatible with older 3 terminal regulators. For a 3A low
dropout regulat or refer to the CLM 283 0 data she et.
