3. Assume an 8-bit serial in/parallel out shift register needs to be cleared but has no clear input. How many clock cycles are required before a zero applied to the input appears on the QH output?
Shifting a binary number by one bit is equivalent to multiplying (when shifting to the left) or dividing (when shifting to the right) the number by 2.
5. Assume a 4-bit parallel in/serial out shift register is loaded with a binary number. How many clock pulses are required after the parallel load has occurred before the first bit in the sequence appears on the serial output line?
