4Bit SERIAL IN/SHIFT RIGHT/SERIAL OUT REGISTER Introduction: This lab will illustrate an important design practice when

building digital sequential circuits: Always use a clean clock signal. As stated in the DEBOUNCING SWITCH WITH TRANSISTOR LED DRIVER CIRCUIT a common electric switch contacts can generate small voltage spikes that can produce sporadic states for a typical sequential circuit (i.e. Digital Counter or Shift Register). The Open/Close transitions associated with a non conditioned electrical switch will allow the sequential circuit to behave abnormally because of the Voltage Switching Threshold of digital ICs. Typically a +2.5V signal will be considered a logic 1. All voltages below + 1.0V the switching threshold value will be considered logic 0. Therefore, using a non-conditioned electrical switch will reach these switching conditions, thereby allowing the outputs to toggle sporadically. To alleviate this problem a debouncer circuit can be used to clean up the switches noisy contacts. In this Lab this electrical noise condition will be observed using a 4 Bit SerialIn/Shift Right/ Serial Out Register.

Circuit Assembly a. Take a small Single Pole-Double Throw (SPDT) switch and solder 3 small 22AWG (American Wire Gauge) solid wires to the tabs on the electrical device. See Figure 1

b. Build the circuit as shown in Figure 2 using a solderless breadboard. NOTE: The SPST switches are from the DIP Switch pack. c. Adjust the DC Power Supply for +5V using a Digital Multimeter-(DMM). d. The following 4 Bit data will be loaded into the Serial-In/Shift Right/Serial Out Register: 10101 e. Toggle the Reset Switch (SW3) to clear the Shift Register. f. Due to the inverse logic of the switch: Logic 1 = Switch Open, Logic 0 = Switch Close. g. Open Data Switch (SW2) Logic 1. h. Toggle the CLK Switch (SW1). (Observe the LEDs You might see 2 of them ON!) i. Close Data Switch (SW2) Logic 0. j. Toggle the CLK Switch (SW1). (Observe the LEDs You might see 1 or 2 of them turn ON!) TECH NOTE: These sporadic states of several LEDs turning ON with ONE CLK input is based on the non conditioned CLK Switch (SW1).

k. Now remove the CLK Switch (SW1) circuit and replace it with the Debouncer as shown in Figure 3.NOTE: Turn off the +5VDC Power Supply upon removing and adding the circuits l. Turn on the +5VDC Power Supply and clear the Registers using the Reset Switch (SW3). m. Repeat steps g thru j until all of the 4 Bit Data has been placed into the Register. TECH NOTE: These operation of the LED states should be non sporadic. All of the flip-flops should display the correct binary data of 1010.
