SIPO: Continuous Stream

HardLogic CircuitTiming Diagram

A positive-edge-triggered 3-bit shift register receives continuous serial DATA and shifts left (SR = {SR[1:0], DATA}) on every LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLK, while a synchronous parallel output register captures the shift register's state on the same clock edge only when STROBE is HIGH.

Five signals are shown: CLK (clock, period 2), DATA (serial input), STROBE (active-high capture enable), OUT2 (output register MSB, initially 0), and OUT0 (output register LSB, initially 0).

Trace OUT2 and OUT0 across all 16 time steps.

Constraints

  • The output register captures the shift register state synchronously, meaning it evaluates the shift register's value immediately before the current clock edge applies its shift.
  • The shift register shifts left: the oldest bit resides at the MSB (OUT2) and the newest bit at the LSB (OUT0).
