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 8 MSbs are ‘0’s. If this second word is exe-
cuted 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,

Programmer’s Reference Manual”
