(a) Note on the description of word/half-word data multiply-and-accumulate instructions and multiply-and-
accumulate instructions
When executing a word/half-word data multiply-and-accumulate instruction followed by a multiply-and-accumulate
instruction, the result produced by the word/half-word data multiply-and-accumulate instruction is used in the
execution of the subsequent multiply-and-accumulate instruction. Therefore, it is essential to not initiate the
subsequent multiply-and-accumulate instruction until after the result that is required from the word/half-word data
multiply-and-accumulate instruction has been output. As a result, one cycle must be inserted between the word/
half-word data multiply-and-accumulate instruction and the subsequent multiply-and-accumulate instruction.
This note applies to the following instructions:
