Chapter Seven

Chapter Eight discusses shift registers, which are digital circuits made up of flip-flops used for data storage and movement. It details two types: serial in serial out registers, which accept and output data one bit at a time, and serial in parallel out registers, which allow simultaneous output of stored bits. The chapter emphasizes the importance of storage capacity and data movement within these registers.

Basic shift registers
Shift registers consists of arrangement of flip-flops and are important in applications involving
the storage and transfer of data in a digital system.

 A register in general is used solely for storing and shifting data entered into it from an external
source and typically possesses no characteristic internal sequence of states.

A register is a digital circuit with two basic functions: data storage and movement

the storage capacity of register makes it important type of memory device

The figure below illustrates the concept of storing a 1 or a 0 in a D flip flop.


Basic shift registers

Figure: Storing one in D flip flop Figure: Storing zero in D flip flop
 As shown above A 1 is applied to the data input as shown, and a clock pulse is applied that stores
the 1 by setting the flip flop.
 When the one in the input is removed, the flip flop remains in set state, hereby storing the 1
 A similar procedure is applies to the storage of a 0 by resetting the flip flop, as also illustrated in
figure above
Basic shift registers
The storage capacity of a register is the total number of bits of digital data it can retain

Each stage(flip flop) in the shift register represents one bit of storage capacity; therefore, the
number of stages in register determines its storage capacity

the shift capacity of registers permits the movement of data from stage to stage within the register
or into or out of the register up on application of clock pulse.

The figure below illustrate the type of data movement in shift registers. The block represents any
arbitrary 4 bit register. And arrows indicate the direction of data movement

Serial in serial out shift register
The serial in/serial out shift register accepts data serially that is, one bit at a time on a single line
it produces the stored information on its output also in serial form

The above figure shows a 4 bit device implemented with D flip flops. With four stages, this
register can store up to four bits of data
Serial in/parallel out shift registers
In serial in /parallel out shift register data bits are entered serially in to the register in the same
manner as Serial in/ Serial out shift registers.

the difference is the way in which the data bits are taken out of the register; in parallel out register
,the out put of each stage is available.

once the data are stored, each bits appears on its respective output line, and all bits are available
simultaneously, rather than on a bit by bit basis as with the serial output
Serial in/parallel out shift registers
• the figure below shows 4 bit serial in/parallel out shift register and its logic symbol
