For safety reasons, the start−up current is lowered when
the HV current source will always turn on and off to maintain

Brown−out protection
When the input voltage goes below V
brown−out condition is detected, and the controller stops.
The HV current source alternatively turns on and off to
failure, or external pull−down on V
to disable the
