hi,
Iam using the DAC (AD5422),the out put of the DAC in current(0-20mA,4-20mA) and voltage . what is the voltage i have to provide to the current output of the DAC to form the loop
 

The output current would be summed against the
output voltage through a feedback resistor, to get
a voltage DAC output in the end. That makes a "virtual
ground" (or common mode voltage) which you would
be best off making match what you see in test figures
for the linearity / error parameters. On older +/-15V
parts this is commonly ground potential but single-
supply systems will have a VCM chosen instead. If
output current is unidirectional then another resistor
from a reference voltage may be used to provide
the offset, summed into the same node as the DAC
current.

The DAC5422 generates the current and voltage outputs.when iam using the Current output from the DAC,how the loop will be completed and should i need to provide any voltage to complete the loop

Thanks Sir,

In the application they are not given any voltage in the output of current except the protection diodes.then how do i connect this current as a input in the other side.

Simple example:

Rload = 250 Ohm
Imin = 0.00mA
Imax = 20 mA
Umax = 5.000V
Umin = 0.000V

Power supply: according to the data sheet and application notes.

several configurations:

OK?
