Abstract
A shift register matrix including a matrix of cells having a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, each cell storing one bit of data. A plurality of pulse generators is included to generate pulses to the cells which cause new data to be shifted into the cells. One pulse generator is included for each column of the matrix. The pulse generator for each column is coupled to all the cells in the column. Each pulse generator supplies a pulse to each of the cells in its respective column to cause new data to be shifted into the cells of that column. The pulses are sent to the respective columns in sequential order, one column at a time, until all the data in the matrix has been shifted by one bit.
