Low Voltage Operation
If the input voltage drops below the UVLO or MOSFET
threshold voltage, another voltage may be used to power the
device. Simply connect the voltage you would like to boost
to the inductor and connect the stable voltage to the VIN pin
of the device. In boost configuration, the output of the
converter can be used to power the device. In some cases it
may be desirable to connect 2 sources to VIN pin, which can
be accomplished simply by connecting each of the sources
through a diode to the VIN pin.
