Shift Registers & Intro to State Machines
Inside this lesson
- Explain how a shift register chains D flip-flops under a common clock to move data one stage per clock edge
- Identify the SISO, SIPO, PISO, and PIPO configurations and describe a typical application for each
- Trace a SIPO shift register through multiple clock cycles and determine the final parallel output
- Define Moore and Mealy finite state machines and state the key difference in how each produces its output
- Recognize that a binary counter is a simple example of a Moore machine
