TPS54232 Datasheet - meaning of Vout vs. Vout(max) and Iout vs. Iout(max)

Hello.

On the page 16 of the datasheet there are equations where the terms VOUT , VOUT(MAX) , IOUT  and IOUT(MAX).

What is the difference between:

1) VOUT , VOUT(MAX) ?

2) IOUT  and IOUT(MAX) ?

Thank you.

    It is just your maximum output voltage or output current. For Vout, Vout and Vout(max) are probably the same thing as most likely you are designing a fixed output supply. Vin and Iout may vary though. When Vin(max) or Iout(max) is referenced, it means you should use the maximum value not typical.

    Dear John.
    Thank you.
    It seems a bit weired to insert Vout and Vout(max) inside the same equation, while its meanings are equal. But I do not see other interpretation than yours.

    The XYZ(max) values are obvious, the other, no.
