Question about shift registers (EE's or CPE's)

[jmcoreymv]

Im did a lab where I had to design a 1bit and then a 4bit shift register. I did the lab but Im lacking ideas as to what shift registers can be used for. One possible thing that comes to mind is to use it to multiply a number by 2. What else can you do with these?

 

[OZEE]

1 bit would multiply *OR* divide by 2. 4 bit by 16.

In industrial programming, I use shift registers to track the status of a part through a sequential process.

you can use shift registers to turn serial info into parallel for one

Or a parallel into a serial depending on the type of a shift register.

you can use shift registers for:

keeping track of stuff (counter)
CRC
