Overview

The TPS62160DGKR is a compact 1A step-down (buck) switching regulator in an 8-pin VSSOP package. It operates from a 3V to 17V input voltage and can deliver an adjustable output voltage from 0.9V to 6V. With a 2.25MHz switching frequency, it is suitable for power-sensitive applications requiring efficient voltage conversion.

Why Choose This Part

This regulator offers high efficiency for 1A loads, making it suitable for compact designs. Its DCS-Control topology allows for seamless power saving and fast transient response. Integrated features like short circuit and over temperature protection enhance system reliability, while its pin-to-pin compatibility with TPS62170 simplifies design iterations.

Applications

Point-of-Load Regulation
Providing localized power conversion for various digital ICs such as microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs from a higher voltage rail.
Battery-Powered Devices
Efficiently converting battery voltage down to the required levels for system components, extending battery life due to its low shutdown current of 1.5 uA.
Distributed Power Systems
Acting as a compact and efficient power supply in systems where multiple voltage rails are needed from a common input bus.
Industrial Control Systems
Supplying stable power in industrial environments where reliable and efficient voltage regulation is crucial for sensors and control circuitry.
