So we have two ways in which data can ‘flow’ through a shift register. Similarly, each flip-flop can have its own output too. This particular setting of giving input is known as parallel input. The output is in the same order as the input. We get the data output at the last flip-flop.
Each bit passes through the cascade in a line. We can feed and extract data to and from a shift register in two ways:
