GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5544/AD5554 quad, 16-/14-bit, current-output, digital-
to-analog converters are designed to operate from a single 5 V
supply.

The applied external reference input voltage (VREF) determines
the full-scale output current. Integrated feedback resistors (RFB
provide temperature-tracking, full-scale voltage outputs when
combined with an external I-to-V precision amplifier.

A doubled-buffered serial-data interface offers high-speed,
3-wire, SPI- and microcontroller-compatible inputs using
serial-data-in (SDI), clock (CLK), and a chip-select (CS). In
addition, a serial-data-out pin (SDO) allows for daisy-chaining
when multiple packages are used. A common level-sensitive
load-DAC strobe (LDAC) input allows simultaneous update of
all DAC outputs from previously loaded input registers. Addi-
tionally, an internal power ON reset forces the output voltage to
zero at system turn ON. An MSB pin allows system reset asser-
tion (RS) to force all registers to zero code when MSB = 0, or
to half-scale code when MSB = 1.
