    When the supply voltage is switched on, or if the output is
    short-circuited, the IC enters the power-up mode. As long as
    the voltage at FB is less than 0.6 V, the LT1615 output current
    is limited to 250 mA instead of 350 mA, and the monostable
    time is increased to 1.5 µs. These measures reduce the power
