PRODUCTION DATA
A minimum load current of 1 mA is required to maintain proper operation. If the load current falls below that level, the bootstrap capacitor can discharge during the long off-time and the circuit either shuts down or cycles on and off at a low frequency. If the load current is expected to drop below 1 mA in the application, choose the feedback resistors to be low enough in value to provide the minimum required current at nominal VOUT.
