Chapter 6 Flashcards
registers
group of FFs that share a common clock and each store 1bit
register with parallel load
- common clock triggers all FFs and the binary inputs transfer into the register
- each FF has separate input and output
- have common input Clear_b to reset input of all FFs (0 = FF reset asynchronously)
shift register
register that shifts the binary info held in each cell to the neighbouring cell
- has common clk pulses
serial input/output of shift register
first input into first register
last output from last register
universal shift register
bidirectional and has parallel-load capabilities
universal shift register mode control
s1 s0 operation
0 0 no change
0 1 shift right
1 0 shift left
1 1 parallel load
universal shift register usees _____ FF
D
counter
register that goes though a predetermined sequence of binary states
binary counter
- counter that follows binary number sequence
- nbit binary counter has n FF and can count from 0 to 2^n-1
ripple counter
FF output transition is the source for triggering the other FFs
- clock input only goes into one FF
synchronous counter
the clock inputs of all FFs receive a common clock impulse
an n-bit ripple counter is called a _____
modulo-N counter
N = 2^n
T inputs of a binary ripple counter _________
are permanent logic 1, so each FF complements once there is a negative transition
what type of FFs does a BCD counter use
T
what is the purpose of the output y of a BCD counter
to initiate restart when value reaches 9
parallel load binary counter
used to transfer an initial binary number into the counter before the count operation
parallel load binary counter inputs
- Clear - if 0 clear to 0
CLK - triggers on up
Load - if 1, load inputs
Count - if 1 count next binary state, if 0 no change
ring counter
- circular shift register with only one FF being set at any time, all others are cleared
switch tail ring counter
- doubles number of states of a ring counter
- complemented output of last flip flip is connected to input of first FF
- starting from all 0’s, each shift inserts 1’s until all 1’s then starts filling in with 0s
johnson counter
- a switch tail ring counter with 2k decoding gates (and gates) to provide outputs for 2k timing signals
