:) was trying to put a constraint since we do know that leakage
changes over temperature profile and the fact that operating
temperature ranges vary depending on device and market. rephrased
again below:

- opp-microamp: The maximum current drawn by the device in
  microamperes considering system specific parameters (such as
  transients, process, aging, maximum operating temperature range
  etc.) as necessary. This may be used to set the most efficient
  regulator operating mode.
