EC304

This document discusses a lecture on registers and memories. It defines a register as a group of flip-flops that is used for storing binary information and facilitating sequential circuit design. Registers are needed for temporary storage and shifting capabilities. Data can be transferred from one register to another through a serial transfer using shift registers, where the source register circulates its information to prevent data loss.

OBJECTIVES

On the completion of this period, you would be able


to know

• the need of register.

• transfer of data from a Register to Register.

EC304.49 2
REGISTERS

• A register is a group of flip-flops

• Used for storing binary information

• Used to facilitate the design of sequential circuits

• n-bit Register has a group of n flip-flops

• n-bit register stores n-bit information.

EC304.49 3
NEED FOR REGISTERS

1. Temporary storage

2. Shifting capabilities

• Used for the temporary storage of data or information


within a digital system.

• Storage capability makes it an important type of memory


device.

EC304.49 4
• Shift capability of a register permits the movement
of data from one stage to another stage.

• Basic building block in all shift registers is the


flip-flop (mostly D-Flip-Flop).

EC304.49 5
TRANSFER OF DATA FROM A REGISTER
TO REGISTER

• A serial transfer of information from Register A to Register

B is done with shift registers.

• To prevent the loss of information stored in the source

register, the A register is made to circulate its information

by connecting the serial output to its input terminal.


EC304.49 6
• The shift control determines, how many times the
content of registers are to be shifted.

• AND gate allows clock pulses to pass into the CP


(clock pulse) Terminals only when the shift
control is HIGH.

OPERATION

• Content of A before the shift in 1011.

• Content of B before the shift in 0010.

• After the first pulse T1, the right most bit of A is shifted

into the left most bit of B and, at the same time, this bit

is circulated into the left most position of A.

EC304.49 11
• After the fourth shift, the shift control goes to 0

and both registers A and B have the value 1011.

• The content of A is transferred into B while the

content of remains unchanged.

EC304.49 12
