    This circuit provides a regulated 12V power supply capable of delivering up to 3A of current using a monolithic voltage regulator IC. The circuit uses a CA3085 voltage regulator in a TO-5 package which offers features like good load and line regulation, an output current of up to 100mA, output short-circuit protection, and the ability to operate with lower input voltages. A heat sink is used to dissipate heat from the external pass transistor to prevent exceeding maximum device ratings.
