Most instructions are a single word. Certain double-word
instructions are designed to provide all the required
information in these 48 bits. In the second word, the
8MSbs are ‘0’s. If this second word is executed as an
instruction (by itself), it executes as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
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
instruction, or a PSV or Table Read is performed. In
these cases, the execution takes multiple instruction
cycles with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP. 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 two-
word instruction. Moreover, double-word moves require
two cycles.
Note: For more details on the instruction set,
refer to the “16-bit MCU and DSC
Programmer’s Reference Manual”
(DS70157).
