6.4.6.2 Pass Mode

The LM3645 starts up in Pass Mode and stays there until Boost Mode is needed to maintain regulation. If the voltage difference between VOUT and VLED falls below VHR, the device switches to Boost Mode. In Pass Mode the boost converter does not switch, and the synchronous P-channel MOSFET turns fully on bringing VOUT up to VIN − ILED × RPMOS. In Pass Mode the inductor current is not limited by the peak current limit.
