Outline • Basic shift register functions • Serial in/serial out shift registers • Serial in/parallel out shift registers • Parallel in/serial out shift registers • Parallel in/parallel out shift registers • Bidirectional shift registers
Basic shift register functions • A register is a digital circuit with basic functions: • Data storage and • Data movement • The storage capacity of a register is the total number of bits it can retain. • Shift registers consists of an arrangement of flips-flops • Each stage (flip-flop) in a shift register represents one bit of storage capacity. • The shifting capacity permits the movement of data from stage to stage within the register or into or out of the register upon application of clock pulses. • The basic difference between a register and a counter is that a register has no specified sequence of states, except in certain very specialized applications. • A register is used solely for storing and shifting data
Serial in/serial out shift registers • It accepts data serially, one bit at a time on a single line, and produces the sorted information on its output also in a serial form
Serial in/serial out shift registers • 4 bit register • It needs 4 clock pulses to store 4 bits • Example: • Illustrate entry of the 4 bits 1010 into the register. • Illustrate serially shifting the 4 bits out of the register, i.e. clearing the register.
Example: Show the states of the 5-bit shift register for the specified data input and clock waveforms. The registered is initially cleared.
Serial in/parallel out shift registers • Data bits are entered serially as illustrated before • Once the data are stored, the output of each stage is available on its output line.
Serial in/parallel out shift registers • 4-bit register
Serial in/parallel out shift registers • Example: Show the state of the 4-bit register foe the data input and clock waveforms. The register initially contains all 1s.
Serial In/Parallel Out Shift Registers • 8-bit serial in/parallel out
Parallel In/Serial Out Shift Registers • The bits are entered simultaneously into their respective stages. • The serial output appears bit by bit per clock pulse. • To store 4 bits, we need 1 clock pulse • To shift them out them, we need another 3 clock pulses. • 4-bit parallel in/serial out
Parallel In/Serial Out Shift Registers 4-bit parallel in/serial out
Parallel In/Parallel Out Shift Registers • The bits are entered simultaneously into their respective stages. • Immediately, the bits appear on the parallel outputs. 4-bit version
Parallel In/Parallel Out Shift Registers • 4-bit version
Parallel In/Parallel Out Shift Registers • 4-bit version
Bidirectional Shift Register • A bidirectional shift register is one in which the data can be shifted either left or right. 4-bit version
