ARM INSTRUCTION SET S3C2440A RISC MICROPROCESSOR
3-26
OPERAND RESTRICTIONS
• R15 must not be used as an operand or as a destination register.
• RdHi, RdLo, and Rm must all specify different registers.
CPSR FLAGS
Setting the CPSR flags is optional, and is controlled by the S bit in the instruction. The N and Z flags are set
correctly on the result (N is equal to bit 63 of the result, Z is set if and only if all 64 bits of the result are zero). Both
the C and V flags are set to meaningless values.
INSTRUCTION CYCLE TIMES
MULL takes 1S + (m+1)I and MLAL 1S + (m+2)I cycles to execute, where m is the number of 8 bit multiplier array
cycles required to complete the multiply, which is controlled by the value of the multiplier operand specified by Rs.
Its possible values are as follows:
For Signed INSTRUCTIONS SMULL, SMLAL:
•
••
• If bits [31:8] of the multiplier operand are all zero or all one.
•
••
• If bits [31:16] of the multiplier operand are all zero or all one.
•
••
• If bits [31:24] of the multiplier operand are all zero or all one.
•
••
• In all other cases.
For Unsigned Instructions UMULL, UMLAL:
•
••
• If bits [31:8] of the multiplier operand are all zero.
•
••
• If bits [31:16] of the multiplier operand are all zero.
•
••
• If bits [31:24] of the multiplier operand are all zero.
•
••
• In all other cases.
S and I are defined as sequential (S-cycle) and internal (I-cycle), respectively.
