Abstract
Provided is an electronic device that includes a first terminal and a second terminal for a daisy chain connection. The first terminal and the second terminal each have a plurality of channels. Some of the channels of the first terminal are shifted and directly connected to some of the channels of the second terminal. For example, communication circuits (a transmit/receive circuit, a transmitting circuit, or a receiving circuit) are connected to other channels of the first terminal and other channels of the second terminal.
