What is the best way to interpret both the rated output current and the switch current limit to determine how much current I can get out of the device in practice? I have done some testing with similar TI regulators that have a 600mA "output current" and ~1200mA switch current, and I am able to get around 1000mA from these regulators without much trouble. The 600mA figure is not actually listed anywhere within the electrical specifications, while the switch limit is, so I wonder in what situations each parameter is significant. Perhaps 600mA is the max over the full voltage range, but higher outputs are available within a range that does not violate the switch limit?
