2.6.4  Basic Instruction Formats 
The CPU instructions consist of 2-byte (1-word) units. An instruction consists of an operation 
field (op field), a register field (r field), an effective address extension (EA field), and a condition 
field (cc). 
Figure 2.9 shows examples of instruction formats.

Figure 2.9 Instruction Formats (Examples) 
(1) Operation Field: Indicates the function of the instruction, the addressing mode, and the 
operation to be carried out on the operand. The operation field always includes the first four bits of 
the instruction. Some instructions have two operation fields. 
(2) Register Field: Specifies a general register. Address registers are specified by 3 bits, data 
registers by 3 bits or 4 bits. Some instructions have two register fields. Some have no register 
field. 
(3) Effective Address Extension: Eight, 16, or 32 bits specifying immediate data, an absolute 
address, or a displacement. 
(4) Condition Field: Specifies the branching condition of Bcc instructions.
