The CLM2930 is a positive low power voltage regulator. This device is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered applications such as cordless telephones, radio control systems, and automotive applications. The CLM2930 was originally designed for automotive applications, all circuitry is protected from reverse battery installation. During line transients, such as a load dump (+60V) when the input voltage to the regulator exceeds its maximum operating voltage, this device will automatically shut down to protect both internal circuits and as well as the load.
