TPS62160DGKT is a Texas Instruments TPS62160 1 A synchronous step-down converter with DCS-Control in VSSOP-8, 250-piece small 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 DGKT code is the selection point: the same VSSOP-8 die as the DGKR, but on 250-piece reel — prototypes, pilot runs and low-volume repairs get the DCS-Control performance without a 2500-piece reel commitment. Selection advice: qualify on the DGKT, then move to the DGKR large reel for production with zero layout change. The 100% duty-cycle mode squeezes the last useful volt out of a discharging battery — a real advantage for battery-powered 3.3 V rails. For the 2 × 2 mm WSON footprint, use the DSGT code instead. Evidence: TI TPS62160 documentation confirms VSSOP-8 (DGK), 250-piece reel option, 1 A, 3–17 V and DCS-Control. Match the full TPS62160DGKT 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 — TPS62160DGKR: 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.; 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.. TPS62160DGKT 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 TPS62160DGKT — always re-check them against the manufacturer datasheet revision quoted on your BOM before finalizing the design.
