Overview of Shift Registers

• A shift register is a sequential logic device
made up of flip-flops that allows parallel or
serial loading and serial or parallel outputs
as well as shifting bit by bit.
• Common tasks of shift registers:
– Serial/parallel data conversion
– UART (an example)
– Time delay
– Ring counter
– Twisted-ring counter or Johnson counter
– Memory device
 9-6

Characteristics of Shift Registers

• Number of bits (4-bit, 8-bit, etc.)
• Loading
– Serial
– Parallel (asynchronous or synchronous)
• Common modes of operation.
– Parallel load
– Shift right-serial load
– Shift left-serial load
– Hold
– Clear
• Recirculating or non-recirculating

Serial/Parallel Data Conversion

Shift registers can be used to convert from serial-
to-parallel or the reverse from parallel-to-serial.

Simple Troubleshooting Hints

• Feel top of IC to determine if it is hot

• Look for broken connections, signs of
excessive heat
• Smell for overheating
• Check power source
• Trace path of logic through circuit
• Know the normal operation of the circuit
 9-20

QUIZ
1. The most important factor in successful
troubleshooting is a good knowledge of the
circuit’s normal operation. (True or False) True
2. The first three steps in troubleshooting are to
use your senses to (1) __________ the top of the feel
ICs for overheating, (2) look for broken
connections, and (3) smell for signs of
overheating.
3. The fourth step in troubleshooting is to use
a(n) __________ (logic probe, tachometer) to logic probe
check the power sources to the IC.
4. The fifth step in troubleshooting is to trace
the path of logic through the circuit. (True True
or False)
