TPS61160ADRVR – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The TPS61160ADRVR is a highly integrated, 2.5A synchronous step-down converter from Texas Instruments, packaged in a compact 16-pin WSON (WQFN) package. It operates from a wide input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for various battery-powered applications. This device features a fixed 1.8V output voltage, ideal for powering low-voltage microcontrollers and other peripherals. The TPS61160ADRVR utilizes internal synchronous rectification for high efficiency, typically exceeding 90% at moderate load currents, minimizing power loss and extending battery life. Its internal compensation simplifies design, requiring minimal external components. The device incorporates features such as soft-start, enabling smooth power-up and preventing inrush current surges. Its small size and high efficiency make it particularly well-suited for space-constrained portable devices, wearable electronics, and IoT applications where efficient power management is paramount. Protection features include overcurrent, overtemperature, and short-circuit protection, ensuring robust operation in challenging environments. The device’s fixed output voltage simplifies design, eliminating the need for external voltage regulation components, reducing BOM cost and board space.
