BOOST STANDBY MODE
User can set the Boost Converter to STANDBY mode by writing the register bit EN_BOOST low. When
EN_BOOST is written high, the converter starts for 20ms in low current PWM mode and then goes to normal
PWM mode. All LED outputs are off during the 20ms delay to ensure smooth startup.
BOOST OUTPUT VOLTAGE CONTROL
User can control the boost output voltage by Boost Output 8-bit register.
