TLV61046A: Quiescent current very high (3V to 24V boost)

Part Number: TLV61046A


Tool/software:

I'm testing out a design using the TLV61046A to boost a 3V input to ~24V output. Schematic below. We only need ~20-50mA output and it's doing this quite well.

However the quiescent current is very high. With no load on the output, I measure 1.04mA through R2! Accounting for the 10k/10k divider (0.15mA), this still leaves the TLV61046A drawing 0.89mA compared to the 0.2 mA max stated in the datasheet.

Actual measurements: R2 = 1.08 Ohms, R2 voltage drop = 1.123mV, Vin = 3.0V, Vout = 23.15V

Hoping someone can provide some insight on this?
