ARM INSTRUCTION SET

S3C2440A RISC MICROPROCESSOR

3-24

CPSR FLAGS

Setting the CPSR flags is optional, and is controlled by the S bit in the instruction. The N (Negative) and Z (Zero)
flags are set correctly on the result (N is made equal to bit 31 of the result, and Z is set if and only if the result is
zero). The C (Carry) flag is set to a meaningless value and the V (oVerflow) flag is unaffected.


INSTRUCTION CYCLE TIMES

MUL takes 1S + mI and MLA 1S + (m+1)I cycles to execute, where S and I are defined as sequential (S-cycle) and
internal (I-cycle), respectively.

m

The number of 8 bit multiplier array cycles is required to complete the multiply, which is

controlled by the value of the multiplier operand specified by Rs. Its possible values are

as

follows

1

If bits [32:8] of the multiplier operand are all zero or all one.

2

If bits [32:16] of the multiplier operand are all zero or all one.

3

If bits [32:24] of the multiplier operand are all zero or all one.

4

In all other cases.


ASSEMBLER SYNTAX
