A shifter that can avoid utilizing a partial pulse, comprising: at least one shifting stage, for receiving an external clock signal or a command triggering clock signal to generate sampling signals according a command signal; and a command triggering clock signal generating circuit, for generating the command triggering clock signal according to the command signal. The shifting stage utilizes the external clock signal to generate the sampling signal but does not utilize the command triggering clock signal to generate the sampling signal, if the command triggering clock signal may have a partial pulse for a cycle that the shifting stage generates the sampling signal.
