1. A device configured to:
- receive a selected average current value for a current driver;
determine a set of parameters for the current driver; and
generate an output to the current driver to cause the current driver to output a switching signal with an average current that corresponds to the selected average current value.

Abstract
Methods, devices, techniques, and circuits are disclosed for current control of a buck converter. In one example, a device is configured to receive a selected average current value for a current driver. The device is further configured to determine a set of parameters for the current driver. The device is further configured to generate an output to the current driver to cause the current driver to output a switching signal with an average current that corresponds to the selected average current value.
