Instruction Set
3-58 RISC 16−Bit CPU
* RLA[.W] Rotate left arithmetically
* RLA.B Rotate left arithmetically
Syntax RLA dst or RLA.W dst
RLA.B dst
Operation C <− MSB <− MSB−1 .... LSB+1 <− LSB <− 0
Emulation ADD dst,dst
ADD.B dst,dst
Description The destination operand is shifted left one position as shown in Figure 3−14.
The MSB is shifted into the carry bit (C) and the LSB is filled with 0. The RLA
instruction acts as a signed multiplication by 2.
An overflow occurs if dst
≥
04000h and dst < 0C000h before operation is
performed: the result has changed sign.

An overflow occurs if dst
≥
040h and dst < 0C0h before the operation is
performed: the result has changed sign.
Status Bits N: Set if result is negative, reset if positive
Z: Set if result is zero, reset otherwise
C: Loaded from the MSB
V: Set if an arithmetic overflow occurs:
the initial value is 04000h
≤
dst < 0C000h; reset otherwise
Set if an arithmetic overflow occurs:
the initial value is 040h
≤
dst < 0C0h; reset otherwise
Mode Bits OSCOFF, CPUOFF, and GIE are not affected.
Example R7 is multiplied by 2.

Example The low byte of R7 is multiplied by 4.
RLA.B R7 ; Shift left low byte of R7 (

Note: RLA Substitution
The assembler does not recognize the instruction:
RLA @R5+ nor RLA.B @R5+.
It must be substituted by:
ADD @R5+,−2(R5) or ADD.B @R5+,−1(R5).
