This chip is intended for low-power harvesting applications and includes a cold-start system. However, a KEY item to include would be the cold-start current consumption during startup. Many boost-converters are unsuitable for low-power applications because they require a large current spike to start the converter. In a power-starved environment, this will deplete the available power and put the system in a continuous brown-out loop.
The plot that needs to be included: Current versus input voltage from 0.0V to 1.8V in very small voltage increment. This should appear as a line starting from 0 uA, have a large peak at some point, and then taper off as voltage continues to increase. The time-domain plots are taken using an infinite (or near-infinite) current source not typical of a real scenario. (For an example, see the Linear Technology LT3008 ( http://cds.linear.com/docs/Datasheet/3008fb.pdf ) Page 8, "Quiescent Current" figure.)
Does anyone have this plot or would be able to generate it?
