    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a dynamic programmable switcher driver using estimated current for device reliability is provided. The method adjusts a rate of closure of an electronic switch and begins when the load current of the Buck regulator is estimated. This estimated current flow is then compared with a predetermined threshold. If the estimated current flow is greater than the predetermined threshold then the rate of closure of the electronic switch is decreased. If the estimated current flow is less than the predetermined threshold then the rate of closure of the switch is increased. An apparatus for adjusting a rate of closure of an electronic switch is also provided. The apparatus includes: an adjustable p-driver having an internal register value; an adjustable n-driver having an internal register value; a positive switch connected to the adjustable p-driver; and a negative switch connected to the adjustable n-driver.
