A common characteristic of ALL shift- register counters is:
A) they use fewer flip- flops than binary counters.
B) they require more decoding gates than do binary counters.
C) they all use feedback where the last flip- flop output is someway connected back to the first flip- flop.
D) they count in true binary form.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shift-register counters are characterized by the feedback loop where the output of the last flip-flop is fed back into the first flip-flop, enabling the shift-register to cycle through a sequence of states. This is a defining feature of shift-register counters, distinguishing them from other types of counters.
