A register can hold data, and it can be used for temporary storage or, in the case of an accumulator, it can participate in arithmetic or logical operations. A counter is a special case of a register. Usually, it can only be loaded, stored, or incremented, or used for the stack or as the program counter.
a counter is a device which stores (and sometimes displays) the number of times a particular event or process has occurred.Shift registers are a type of sequential logic circuit, mainly for storage of digital data. They are a group of flip-flops connected in a chain so that the output from one flip-flop becomes the input of the next flip-flop
a shift register can store the data and it shifts the data ie. tha output of one flipflop becomes the input of the next. a counter is also a register which can only be loaded and it displays the no of times the process has occured.
The basic difference between a shift register and counter is that shift register has no specified sequence of state whereas counters has specified sequence of state.
shift register has no specified sequence of states except in some certain very specialized applications but a counter has a specified sequence of states.
Shift Registers has basically data shifted for every clock pulse. But in the Counter the values are stored and can be called at any time and also it basically does the working of counting.
A shift register has no specified sequence of state.Counters has specified sequence of state. In a shift register, any data can be input and stored. whereas in counters, data changes as a sequence..
Shift registers results in a circuit that shifts by one position the one-dimensional "bit array" stored in it.

A flipflop is a binary cell capable of storing 1 bit information .
ReplyDeleteif it is connected together to perform counting operation it is called counter.
if it is connected together to store a word it is called register.
A counter is essentially a register that goes through predetermined sequence of binary states.it produce a prescribed sequence of states.
ReplyDeleteBut shift registers shifts the data from one cell to next cell.
