Shift Micro Operations in computer architecture are those which are used in serial shifting of data present in a register. We can also say that Shift micro Operations move or shift data in a register bitwise that is, one bit at a time either left or right from its original position.

1. SHIFT MICRO OPERATIONS

2. DEFINITION
• Shift micro operations are those that shift the binary digits in
a register either leftwards or rightwards.
• Shift can be arithmetic or logical or circular.

3. CLASSIFICATION OF SHIFT MICRO
OPERATIONS
• Arithmetic shift micro operation
• Logical shift micro operation
• Circular shift micro operation

4. ARITHMETIC SHIFT
• Arithmetic shift left operation shifts the signed binary
numbers towards left by multiplying with 2.
• Arithmetic shift right operations shifts the signed binary
numbers towards right by dividing with 2.

5. LOGICAL SHIFT
• Logical left shift operation shifts all the binary bits towards
their left and the right most bit is filled with zero.
• Logical right shift operation shifts all the binary digits towards
their right and the left most bit is filled with zero.

6. CIRCULAR SHIFT
• Circular left shift shifts all the bits towards their left and
the right most bit is replaced with the left most bit.
• Circular right shift shifts all the bits towards their right and
the left most bit is replaced with right most bit.
