AD5623R/AD5643R/AD5663R
At this stage, the SYNC line can be kept low or be brought high.
In either case, it must be brought high for a minimum of 15 ns
before the next write sequence, so that a falling edge of SYNC
can initiate the next write sequence.
Because the SYNC buffer draws more current when VIN = 2 V
than it does when VIN = 0.8 V, SYNC should be idled low between
write sequences for even lower power operation. As mentioned
previously, it must, however, be brought high again just before
the next write sequence.
INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The input shift register is 24 bits wide (see Figure 52). The first
two bits are don’t cares. The next three are Command Bit C2 to
Command Bit C0 (see Table 8), followed by the 3-bit DAC
Address A2 to DAC Address A0 (see Table 9), and, finally, the
16-, 14-, and 12-bit data-word.
The data-word comprises the 16-, 14-, and 12-bit input codes,
followed by zero, two, or four don’t care bits, for the AD5663R,
AD5643R, and AD5623R, respectively (see Figure 51, Figure 52,
and Figure 53). The data bits are transferred to the DAC register
on the 24th falling edge of SCLK.

SYNC INTERRUPT
In a normal write sequence, the SYNC line is kept low for at
least 24 falling edges of SCLK, and the DAC is updated on the
24th falling edge. However, if SYNC is brought high before the
24th falling edge, this acts as an interrupt to the write sequence.
The shift register is reset, and the write sequence is seen as
invalid. Neither an update of the DAC register contents nor a
change in the operating mode occurs (see Figure 54).
