All instructions are a single word, except for certain
double word instructions, which were made double
word instructions so that all the required information is
available in these 48 bits. In the second word, the
8 MSbs are ‘0’s. If this second word is executed as an
instruction (by itself), it will execute as a NOP.
Most single-word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true, or the
program counter is changed as a result of the instruc-
tion. In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP. Notable exceptions are the BRA (uncondi-
tional/computed branch), indirect CALL/GOTO, all table
reads and writes and RETURN/RETFIE instructions,
which are single-word instructions but take two or three
cycles. Certain instructions that involve skipping over the
subsequent instruction require either two or three cycles
if the skip is performed, depending on whether the
instruction being skipped is a single-word or double word
instruction. Moreover, double word moves require two
cycles. The double word instructions execute in two
instruction cycles.
Note: For more details on the instruction set,
refer to the “dsPIC30F/33F Programmer’s
Reference Manual” (DS70157).
