Shift Registers

Written on April 27, 2015 – 9:22 am | by Robin |

Shift register is an array of flip-flops capable of shifting the binary information from any cell
to its neighboring cell. It can shift information either to the left or to the right.

A typical shift register has a chain of flip-flops in cascade. The output of a flip-flop is
connected to the input of the next flip-flop. A common clock pulse activates the shift of data from one stage to the next.
