Nice Chips

Dubbie:
There is a subreddit called "Nice Chips" where people post ICs they have used that they think are nice for some reason.
I find it interesting to keep up with what is out there. However there isn't a lot of traffic there. I thought it would be good if this forum had a thread where people can post about a chip they particularly like. Maybe explain why it solves a problem that other alternatives don't.

Dubbie:
I'll start with the Texas Instruments TPS62743

This is a buck converter that is extremely small.
On one of my boards, my entire power supply including passives only takes 5mm x 2.5mm of space. It has plenty of power for a micro and a couple of other chips at 400mA and only 320nA quiescent current.

I have been using it to power 2V micros from tiny 3.7V rechargeable Lipos.
