A 4-bit shift register design in VHDL is illustrated with waveform output. The shift register is made of 4 D Flip Flop. Data enters 1 bit at a time into the first D Flip Flop which is then shifted along the cascaded shift register.
D Flip Flop:
The D Flop Flip is the basic unit of the 4 bit shift register. It is a synchronous flip flop with clock and reset input. The input for data is D and the output is Q.
D Flip Flop:
library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
entity dff is
port(
D : in std_logic;
CLK : in std_logic;
RST : in std_logic;
Q : out std_logic
);
end dff;
architecture dff_arch of dff is
begin
process (CLK)
begin
if CLKevent and CLK=1 then --CLK rising edge
if RST =1 then --synchronous RESET active High
Q <= 0;
else
Q <= D;
end if;
end if;
end process;
end dff_arch;
Shift Register:
The shift register below instantiates the above D Flip Flip 4 times for the 4 Flip Flops. The input to the register is Din which is feed to the first D Flip Flop. The out of the shift register is Qout.
Shift Register Code:
library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
entity register_design is
port (
Din : in std_logic;
CLK : in std_logic;
RST : in std_logic;
Qout : out std_logic_vector(3 downto 0)
);
end register_design;
architecture register_arch of register_design is

port map (

Waveform
In the waveform graph above, the data input is 1 at 20 ns which is propagated through the D flip flops as shown by Qout(3), Qout(2), Qout(1) and Qout(0). At 70 ns Reset signal RST is applied which puts all the D flip flop states to 0.
D Flip Flop:
The D Flop Flip is the basic unit of the 4 bit shift register. It is a synchronous flip flop with clock and reset input. The input for data is D and the output is Q.

IDM is an Download Manager can download any file and program . . . and I think its very Good Program. Because can Download More Faster (for low Internet Conection like me 
) and Can continue download. . .( I like it)
