Product Overview
The TPS62160DSGR from Texas Instruments is a 3V to 17V input, 1A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter featuring DCS-Control topology. With a typical switching frequency of 2.25MHz, it achieves high efficiency and fast transient response in a tiny 2x2mm WSON-8 package. The adjustable output voltage ranges from 0.9V to 6V, with a quiescent current of just 17μA in power save mode.
