As mentioned in the title, which one has a larger area?
What I am intended to do is to use shift register as a counter. E.g. If I want to count 8 times of certain operation, a 9-bit shift register is used to shift a binary '1' from index 0 to index 8. The operation stops when '1' reaches index 8. I can also do it with a 3-bit counter. I am just wondering which implementation is more area effective. Thank you.
