Article In the MAXREFDES1105, why is a 33mOhm current sense resistor used?

Although the calculated value of the current sense resistor is 36mOhm, a 33mOhm resistor was chosen for the design to ensure the circuit didn't go into current limit too early.

The 33mOhm resistor is sufficient to ensure the design only goes into current limit above the 2A output specified for this design.
