Random

This is a combination of daisychain and hierarchical structure.

A.3 Line Termination

Each discontinuity in impedance causes reflections and distortion. When a imped- ance discontinuity occurs in the transmission line the immediate effect is signal reflection. This will lead to signal distortion. Specially at line ends this mismatch causes problems. To eliminate this discontinuity, terminate the line with a resistor.

Figure A.4 Signal Distortion

The value of the resistor should be a close as possible to the charac- teristic imped- ance of the line. Although receiver devices add some resistance to the whole of the transmission line, normally it is sufficient to the resistor impedance should equal the characteristic impedance of the line.
