A term used to describe a class of digital device that can accept parallel n-bit data words and convert them into serial sequential n-bit data streams. These devices often consist of an n-bit shift register that is parallel loaded with the data word (see diagram). This data is then clocked out of the register in serial form. Compare serial in parallel out
Parallel in serial out.
