I have a question about the current limit for the digital inputs to a DAC. The DAC that I am using is AD9755

https://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/AD9755.pdf

On the datasheet, under Digital Specifications then Parameter, it says that the range for the input current is from -10 uA to 10uA. That's just a characteristic of the high impedance DAC digital input, e.g, leakage current, right? It's not a current value that I have to apply, correct? I have assumed that I apply voltage and depending on my termination resistors, the applied current to the DAC would be in the positive mA range.
 

Yes, the +/-10uA is simply input pin leakage. Drive it with normal digital voltage signals.
