Hi Tonyx,
The current sense resistor sets the peak inductor current limit.
3mΩ can be used as current resistor, because the current sense threshold is 60mV, this will set a 60mV/3mΩ = 20A peak inductor current limit.
You need to make sure your parts can tolerate 20A, mainly the inductor saturation current, MOSFET losses and the current sense resistor power dissipation (20A)^2*3mΩ = 1.2W.
It is best to size your current sense resistor for the required output current.
Hope this helps.
