TPS62160DGKR is a Texas Instruments TPS62160 1 A synchronous step-down converter with DCS-Control in VSSOP-8, 2500-piece large reel — 3 V to 17 V input, adjustable 0.9 V to 6 V output, 2.25 MHz switching, 17 microamp quiescent current, seamless power-save transition, power-good output, 100% duty-cycle mode, −40 °C to +85 °C ambient. The DGKR code is the selection point: the VSSOP-8 package on 2500-piece reel — the production-volume code for 12 V to low-voltage point-of-load rails in space-constrained designs. Selection advice: the DCS-Control topology plus 2.25 MHz switching is why this part needs only a tiny inductor and delivers fast transient response — pick it when board area beats raw cost. The 3–17 V input covers both Li-ion stacks and 12 V intermediate buses; the 17 microamp Iq suits always-on rails. For prototypes use the 250-piece DGKT; for the 2 × 2 mm footprint use the DSG codes. Evidence: TI TPS62160 documentation confirms VSSOP-8 (DGK), 2500-piece reel option, 1 A, 3–17 V and DCS-Control. Match the full TPS62160DGKR code.
Ordering-code highlights reviewed against official manufacturer documentation.
TPS62160 is available in the following manufacturer order codes. They share the same TPS62160 design; the table highlights package, packing and ordering differences. Quote the exact code your BOM needs.
| Order code | Package | Packing | Key difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62160DGKR | VSSOP-8 | LARGE T&R | Package/pins: VSSOP (DGK), 8 pins; TPS62160DSGR is WSON (DSG), 8 pins; do not assume direct replacement — verify PCB pads, thermal and pinout; factory packing is LARGE T&R, 2,500 per pack; TPS62160DSGR is LARGE T&R, 3,000 per pack. |
| TPS62160DGKT | VSSOP-8 | SMALL T&R | Package/pins: VSSOP (DGK), 8 pins; TPS62160DSGR is WSON (DSG), 8 pins; do not assume direct replacement — verify PCB pads, thermal and pinout; factory packing is SMALL T&R, 250 per pack; TPS62160DSGR is LARGE T&R, 3,000 per pack. |
| TPS62160DSGR | WSON-8 | — | — |
| TPS62160DSGT | WSON-8 | SMALL T&R | Same WSON-8 package as TPS62160DSGR; this difference alone does not require PCB pad changes; factory packing is SMALL T&R, 250 per pack; TPS62160DSGR is LARGE T&R, 3,000 per pack. |

Browse existing catalog records — same series first, then the same category and manufacturer. These are not confirmed replacements; compatibility requires engineering review.
These are order-code variants of the same Texas Instruments series. They share the core design; the ordering code selects the exact configuration — TPS62160DGKT: Package/pins: VSSOP (DGK), 8 pins; TPS62160DSGR is WSON (DSG), 8 pins; do not assume direct replacement — verify PCB pads, thermal and pinout; factory packing is SMALL T&R, 250 per pack; TPS62160DSGR is LARGE T&R, 3,000 per pack.; TPS62160DSGR (WSON-8); TPS62160DSGT: Same WSON-8 package as TPS62160DSGR; this difference alone does not require PCB pad changes; factory packing is SMALL T&R, 250 per pack; TPS62160DSGR is LARGE T&R, 3,000 per pack.. TPS62160DGKR itself is the VSSOP-8 configuration. A code that differs by even one character may be a different device, so always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.
From the verified technical profile: Package code: VSSOP (DGK); Pin count: 8; Operating temperature: -40 to 125 °C. These are the catalog-recorded values for TPS62160DGKR — always re-check them against the manufacturer datasheet revision quoted on your BOM before finalizing the design.
