Experiment 1 - The Storage Unit (D Flip-Flop)

In order to understand the functioning of shift register, you first take a look what is meant by the term "storage unit".

The smallest storage unit consists of one D flip-flop. A single D flip-flop stores one bit...

With each clock signal Clk the D flip-flop stores the value present at that moment at the D input (Data).

In the next experiment, you set up a 2-bit shift register...
