The operating temperature is the range of ambient temperature within which a power supply, or any other electrical equipment, operate in. This ranges from a minimum operating temperature, to a peak or maximum operating temperature, outside which, the power supply may fail.

Supply current refers to the input current to an LDO regulator at no load, which flows inside the IC in order to operate. The power consumption of an LDO regulator can be calculated as. (Input Voltage) x (Consumption current of IC itself) + (Input Voltage - Output Voltage) x (Load current)
