The TPS2816DBVR: The part is ROHS3 compliant, meaning no exemptions beyond the standard RoHS substance limits — no separate Pb-free re-qualification needed for EU-market builds.
What the 2A peak output means for your switching loop
Rated 2 A peak source and 2 A peak sink, the TPS2816DBVR charges and discharges the N-Channel MOSFET gate capacitance in 14 ns typical rise and fall times — fast enough to keep switching losses low in a 100 kHz+ PWM stage without requiring an external booster stage. The inverting input means a logic-high on the input pin turns the gate drive off; plan the upstream controller polarity accordingly — a non-inverting sibling (TPS2815) exists if the logic sense needs flipping.
The single-channel low-side configuration drives the gate of an N-Channel MOSFET referenced to ground — typical for buck converters, forward converters, and low-side load switches where the source pin is at ground potential.
