Take a quick glance at a DC/DC buck converter datasheet and you will likely 
find two or three different quiescent current parameters cited on the front 
page and the EC table. This training is intended to: 1) explain the 
differences between each quiescent current term, 2) highlight which quiescent 
current values you will want to pay specific attention to, 3) show you how 
standby quiescent current is calculated using values in the datasheet.
