Shift Register using D flip flop

A flip flop is also a single register that can store one bit when a register is designed with multiple flip flops, which can hold more bit data. Finally, a shift register is a type of logic circuit used to store or transfer data.

The shift register is designed with different numbers of flip flops, where data can be conveyed from left to right or right to left. It can have parallel input or serial input and serial output or parallel output. The shift register can also be designed with D flip flops also.

Serial In Serial Out Shift Register using D flip flop

In this type of register, the input is serial one bit at a time, and output is also serial one bit in a serial sequence.

Fig. Serial In Serial Out shift register design with D flip flop

Each flip flop can store one bit at a time, so for a 4-bit shift register, four flip flops are needed. As shown above, serial data is applied through D of the 1st Flip flop to all remaining flip flops. When a series of data feeds to the register, each bit is provided to the next flip flop with every positive edge of the clock pulse, and with every clock pulse, the serial data moves from one flip flop to the next flip flop.

2 Bit Shift Register using D flip flop

The following diagram is the diagram of a 2-bit shift register that can store or transfer 2-bit data. Where input data and output data are both in serial sequence, so it is a Serial in Serial out (SISO) shift register of two-bit, the process of entering data begins with the lowest significant bit of the register, the data input enters the register with every positive edge of the clock pulse.

Disadvantages of SISO:

  • The clock pulse's 'N' number is required to enter the 'N' bit of data.
  • For reading also 'n' bit clock pulse is required for 'n' bit data.

Parallel In Serial Out Shift Register using D flip flop

Here are four different data lines for the 4-bit shift register; each D flip flop has its separate input. Data is fed into the respective registers in a parallel way. With every clock pulse, the data bits are shifted towards the output Z. here, and the output comes out in the serial sequence form. Parallel in Serial Out (PISO) shift register can be of two types of data loading: synchronous loading and asynchronous loading. With this shift register, the data in parallel form can be converted into the serial form of data.

4 bit Bidirectional Shift Register using D flip flop

A 4-bit bidirectional shift register is a type of shift register in which data bits can be shifted from left to right or right to left as per requirement. When the Right/Left is high, the circuit works as a right shift register, and when it's low, this circuit acts as a left shift register, and the data shift with every positive edge of the clock pulse in this type of register.

D type flip flop Counter

The counter can be designed with a D flip flop; the number of flip flops depends on the number of bit counters to be developed. In addition, both synchronous and asynchronous counters can be created with the d flip flop.

Counter circuit D flip flop

A counter is a group of flip flops whose state changes with every clock pulse applied. The counter is used to count pulses, form waveform, generate a required sequence, etc.

A counter can be a synchronous or asynchronous counter. The ripple counter is an asynchronous type counter. Several states that counter that pass through before returning to the initial state are called the counter's modulus.

D flip flop up Counter

The counter starts from the minimum digit value of a counter according to the number of flip flops used to design the counter and goes to the maximum capacity of the counter with every clock pulse. So that is an up counter.

D flip flop Down Counter

The counter starts from the maximum value of the digit according to the number of flip flops used in the counter and goes down to the minimum digit value of the counter. So that's down the counter.

D flip flop Asynchronous Counter

In this type of counter, each Flip Flop has a different clock pulse; the output of this type of counter is independent of a clock pulse; here, the output of a flip flop can be fed into the next flip flop as a clock pulse.

Ripple Counter using D flip flop | Asynchronous D flip flop Counter

Ripple counter, or asynchronous counter, is the simplest form of counter, which is very simple to design and requires very little hardware. However, Flip Flop does not operate simultaneously; each Flip Flop works at different time instances, and each Flip Flop toggles with a clock pulse. Therefore, to design a ripple counter from a d flip flop, the d flip flop must be in a toggle state so that with every clock pulse, it toggles.

FAQ/ Short Note

What is the difference between a ring counter and Johnson counter?

Ring counter and Johnson counter are both synchronous counters, there is not much difference between the cirucity of both, here the basic difference between both the counter.

  • The Johnson counter with 'n' flip flops can count up to '2n' pulse, whereas the 'n' number of flip flops in the ring counter can count only 'n' bits.
  • Johnson counter is more economical.
  • Johnson counter requires more decoding circuitry.

What is the difference between a ring counter and ripple counter?

The ring counter is a synchronous counter, whereas the ripple counter is an asynchronous counter. The difference between both the counters is given below points.

  • An 'n' bit ring counter (has 'n' number of flip flops) can count up to only 'n' bits, whereas an 'n' bit ripple counter can count up to [latex] 2^n[/latex] bits.
  • Ring counter is relatively faster than the ripple counter.
  • The ring counter is less economical relative to the ripple counter.
  • Ring counter does not need a decoder.
  • Ring counter required fewer logic gates.

Which counter is faster?

The counter can be of the asynchronous or synchronous counter type. In the synchronous counter, every flip flop receives clock pulse simultaneously, whereas asynchronous counter, every flip flop receives clock pulse at a different time.

The synchronous counter is faster, as all the flip-flops in this counter operate simultaneously. Whereas the speed of the counter depends on the circuitry, type of the flip flop used, clock pulse, delays, etc.

What are the types of shift registers?

The classification of the shift registers into four basic types:

  • Serial in serial out
  •  Parallel in serial out
  •  Parallel in parallel out
  •  Serial in parallel out

Which shift register is fastest?

There are four different types of shift registers such as SISO, SIPO, PISO, and PIPO. After comparison between all of them, we found out that.

Parallel in and parallel out (PIPO) is the fastest shift register. Here, all inputs and outputs are in parallel form, and the slowest one is the Serial in Serial out (SISO), where all input and output are in sequential format.

What is a mod 8 counter?

Mod is the modulus of the counter which can be number of counter states while counting from minimum to maximum.

Mod 8 counter is a 3 bit counter with 8 states, so it is called mod eight counter. 8 number of input pulses are required to reset this counter to its initial state zero.

What are the application of shift register?

There are several applications for the shift register. Here are some applications for shift register:

  • Can delay the input of serial data with some clock pulses.
  • Conversion from serial to parallel or parallel to serial may require the processing speed of the data transfer counter.
  • Universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) is an IC that contains all registers and synchronizing circuitry for required operations.
