In this example, we will build a 4-bit shift register using the off-the-shelf D-flipflops provided in libLCS. We will make use of one of the counter output bits from this example as the input bit stream for our shift register. The complete circuit diagram is as shown below.
The following is the program to simulate the above circuit.
#include <iostream> #include <lcs/bus.h> #include <lcs/not.h> #include <lcs/clock.h> #include <lcs/simul.h> #include <lcs/changeMonitor.h> #include <lcs/dflipflop.h> using namespace lcs; using namespace std; int main(void) { Bus<> q0(0), q1(0), q2(0), q3(0), d0, d1, d2, d3, sr0(0), sr1(0), sr2(0), sr3(0), rst(0); Clock clk = Clock::getClock(); Not<> n1(d0, q0), n2(d1, q1), n3(d2, q2), n4(d3, q3); // Initialise 4 positive edge-triggered D-flipflops // using the default template parameters. These flipflops // will form our counter circuit. DFlipFlop<> ff1(q0, d0, clk, rst), ff2(q1, d1, q0, rst), ff3(q2, d2, q1, rst), ff4(q3, d3, q2, rst); // Initialise the D-flipflop modules of the shift register. // They are also initialised with the default template // parameters. DFlipFlop<> ff5(sr0, d1, clk, rst), ff6(sr1, sr0, clk, rst), ff7(sr2, sr1, clk, rst), ff8(sr3, sr2, clk, rst); ChangeMonitor<4> count((d0,d1,d2,d3), string("Count"), DUMP_ON); ChangeMonitor<4> sr((sr0,sr1,sr2,sr3), string("Register"), DUMP_ON); Simulation::setStopTime(4000); Simulation::start(); return 0; }
When the above code is compiled and run, the following output is obtained.
