What is Daisy chain (engineering)?
[[File:Daisy_chain.svg|link=//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cf/Daisy_chain.svg/220px-Daisy_chain.svg.png|thumb|A graphic representation of a daisy chain]] In electrical and electronic engineering, a '''daisy chain''' is a wiring scheme. It has multiple devices, which are wired together in sequence or in a ring, similar to a garland of daisy flowers.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Daisy chain (electrical engineering) {{!}} Semantic Scholar|url=https://www.semanticscholar.org/topic/Daisy-chain-(electrical-engineering)/929519|access-date=2022-08-30|website=www.semanticscholar.org|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Li|first1=Wei-Jian|last2=Wang|first2=Wei|last3=Wang|first3=Xu-Qing|last4=Li|first4=Mu|last5=Ke|first5=Yubin|last6=Yao|first6=Rui|last7=Wen|first7=Jin|last8=Yin|first8=Guang-Qiang|last9=Jiang|first9=Bo|last10=Li|first10=Xiaopeng|last11=Yin|first11=Panchao|date=2020-05-06|title=Daisy Chain Dendrimers: Integrated Mechanically Interlocked Molecules with Stimuli-Induced Dimension Modulation Feature|url=https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.0c02475|journal=Journal of the American Chemical Society|language=en|volume=142|issue=18|pages=8473–8482|doi=10.1021/jacs.0c02475|pmid=32302108 |s2cid=215809715 |issn=0002-7863}}</ref> Daisy chains may be used for power, analog signals, digital data, or a combination of them.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Porter|first1=Robert|last2=Shirinzadeh|first2=Bijan|last3=Choi|first3=Man|date=2016|title=Modelling and Daisy Chaining Control Allocation of a Multirotor Helicopter with a Single Tilting Rotor|journal=Electronics|language=en|volume=5|issue=4|pages=81|doi=10.3390/electronics5040081|issn=2079-9292|doi-access=free }}</ref> The term daisy chain may refer either to large scale devices connected in series, such as a series of power strips plugged into each other to form a single long line of strips, or to the wiring patterns embedded inside of devices. Other examples of devices which can be used to form daisy chains are those based on [[USB]], [[IEEE 1394|FireWire]]
