Abstract

A successive approximation shift register without redundancy for a finite-state machine of the sequential type, is also effective to store the machine states. The shift register comprises a chain of logic circuits of the bistable type (FF0,FF1, . . . ) having an input stage with selectable signal inputs which are feedback connected through logic OR gate circuits (OR0,OR1, . . . ,OR6).
