Objective of Designing Registers:

1. To understand the shifting of data
2. To examine the behavior of different modes of data input and data output(serial-in serial-out, serial-in parallel-out, parallel-in serial out,parallel-in parallel-out)
3. To make use of shift register in data transfer
4. Developing skills in the designing and testing of sequential logic circuits
5. Developing skills in analysing timing signals

Objective of Designing Counters:

1. Understanding the concept of counting upto certain limiting value and returning back to the start state from final state
2. Understanding the generation of timing sequences to control operations in a digital system
3. Developing skills in the design and testing of counters for given timing sequences
4. Developing skills in generating timing signals
