10.4.4.2.3 Programmable maximum current
The maximum current, ISWxMAX, of each buck regulator is programmable. This allows
the use of smaller inductors where lower currents are required. Programmability is
accomplished by choosing the number of paralleled power stages in each regulator. The
SWx_PWRSTG[2:0] bits in Table 136 of the register map control the number of power
stages.
See Table 37 for the programmable options. Bit[0] must always be enabled to ensure the
stage with the current sensor is used. The default setting, SWx_PWRSTG[2:0] = 111,
represents the highest maximum current. The current limit for each option is also scaled
by the percentage of power stages enabled.
