What the 46 µA startup current means for the BOM
A 46 µA startup draw is low enough that the controller can charge its VDD cap from the rectified line through a high-value resistor without wasting power in a bleeder. That eliminates the need for a separate low-voltage bias supply or an auxiliary winding on the boost inductor — a real BOM simplification for compact PFC stages in LED drivers, battery chargers, and auxiliary power supplies.
