This instruction is not affected by SXM.
Description
The two LSBs of the instruction word are copied into the product shift mode
(PM) bits of status register ST1 (bits 1 and 0 of ST1). The PM bits control the
mode of the shifter at the output of the PREG. This shifter can shift the PREG
output either one or four bits to the left or six bits to the right. The possible PM
bit combinations and their meanings are shown in Table 7–8. When an instruc-
tion accesses the PREG value, the value first passes through the shifter,
where it is shifted by the specified amount.
Table 7–8. Product Shift Modes
PM Field
Specified Product Shift
00
No shift of PREG output
01
PREG output to be left shifted 1 place
10
PREG output to be left shifted 4 places
11
PREG output to be right shifted 6 places and sign extended
The left shifts allow the product to be justified for fractional arithmetic. The
right-shift-by-six mode allows up to 128 multiply accumulate processes with-
out the possibility of overflow occurring. PM may also be loaded by an LST #1
instruction.
