CAV6201B
Overview
The CAT6201/CAV6201B is a 13 V rated 300 mA CMOS low dropout regulator that provides fast response time to load current and line voltage changes in an automotive environment. CAT6201/CAV6201B features a low RON P-channel pass element with internal control circuitry which prevents reverse current flow should the voltage at VOUT exceed VIN as in the case of the car’s battery voltage accidentally being applied to VOUT.
