9.2 Maximum Current Rating for Different Supply Rails

See the device-specific (AM62P or AM62P-Q1) product page on TI.com for availability of the application note. Look for Maximum Current Ratings. The recommendation is to follow the Maximum Current Ratings application note for power supply sizing.

Note: The Power Estimation Tool (PET) and the Maximum Current Rating application note serve two different purposes. The PET is used to estimate active power consumption for a specific use case/application. The Maximum Current Rating application note can be used for supply sizing when designing a custom power architecture.
