Abstract
A variable length shift register is formed of a plurality of flip-flops arranged to form separate shift registers of different lengths. The shift registers are interconnected by multiplexers which connect either the input or the output of each shift register to the input of an adjacent shift register. Control signals are provided to the multiplexers to controllably select the length of the variable shift register by selectively inserting shift registers into the variable shift register and bypassing others.
