title: Application of Barrel Shifter
body: <p>I am doing a VLSI Project and I am implementing a Barrel Shifter using a tool called DSCH.The schematic for the same is realized using Transmission Gates. </p>
  
  <p>What the circuit does is, it ROTATES the 8 bit word(8-bit shifter) with as many rotations chosen from a decoder in one clock cycle.<br>
  But I want to know the use of a rotator and why is it still called a shifter even though it's rotating.</p>
  
  <p>Also please help me with some applications regarding Rotator which could be added to the present circuit to show it's use?</p>
