OBJECTIVES

On completion of this period, you would be able to

know

• What is shift register?.

• Types of shift registers.

• Working of left shift register.

• Working of shift right register.

• Working of Universal shift registers(UC 74194).

SHIFT REGISTER

Shift Register :A shift register can not only store the data
but also shift them bit by bit.

Types of Shift registers

Shift left register Shift right register

EC304.52 to 53
SHIFT LEFT AND SHIFT RIGHT REGISTERS

Shift left register:

The shift register that shifts the data by one bit to

the left.

Shift right register:

The register that shifts the data by one bit to the right.

Serial shift and parallel shift registers

• Serial shift register:

In a serial shift register where one bit of

information is shifted into register at a time.

• Parallel shift register:

A shift register where all bits of information are

shifted in simultaneously.

OPERATION

• The input Din sets up the right flip flop.

• Q0 sets the second flip-fop, Q1 the third flip-flop and Q2

the fourth.

• The stored bits move one position to the left when clock
pulse applied.

7
EC304.52 to 53
• Lets us assume the data to be stored in the register
is1101.

• With Din =1, and the bits stored are 0000, all the data
inputs except the one on the right are 0’s. The arrival of
the first clock pulse sets the right most flip-flop.

• The stored word now becomes Q3Q2Q1Q0=0001

Here D1=1 and D0=1

8
EC304.52 to 53
 • The next clock pulse sets the second flip-flop. Stored

word now becomes Q3Q2Q1Q0 = 0011.

• Similarly, for 3rd clock pulse Q3Q2Q1Q0 = 0110 (Here do=o)

for 4th clock pulse Q3Q2Q1Q0 = 1101 (Here do=1)

SHIFT RIGHT REGISTER

• The output of each flip-flop sets the input of the flip-flop to

its right

• On the arrival of the positive clock pulse the stored bits

move one position to the right.

• Lets assume the data to be stored in the register is 1101.

• With Din =1, all the data inputs except the one on the left
are 0’s.
13
EC304.52 to 53
• The first clock pulse sets the flip-flop and the stored word
becomes Q = 1000.

• The second clock pulse causes the bit to move right word
becomes Q = 0100.

• The third clock pulse gives Q = 1010.

• The fourth clock pulse gives Q = 1101.

UNIVERSAL SHIFT REGISTER
• A register which can be used as shift left, shift right,
parallel out etc is called universal shift register.

• 74194 shit register can be designed to operate in four

distinct modes.

• The universal shift register is reset when the master

reset(MR) input goes LOW.

• The synchronus operation of device is determined by the

two mode select inputs S0 and S1.
