500 mA, 2.25 MHz — what it buys the rail design
The TPS62170QDSGRQ1 is a synchronous step-down converter from Texas Instruments, rated for a 500 mA continuous output with a 3V to 17V input range. The 2.25 MHz switching frequency lets you use smaller inductors and output capacitors — a 2.2 µH to 4.7 µH inductor paired with a 10 µF ceramic cap usually fits the bill, keeping the total footprint tight for an 8-WSON (2x2) package. The adjustable output down to 0.9V covers low-voltage core rails for MCUs and FPGAs.
Automotive grade and temperature range
The DCS-Control topology gives fast transient response — useful when the load on a CAN transceiver or sensor module steps from sleep to full current.

Active lifecycle status — no end-of-life or last-time-buy risk. RoHS compliance is standard for this series; confirm the specific lot certificate if your receiving inspection requires it.
