A.3.2 Instruction Format Diagrams
The instruction formats (also called “forms”) illustrated in Figure A-1 through Figure A-9 are valid
combinations of instruction fields. Table A-2 on page A-33 indicates which “form” is utilized by each
PPC405 opcode. Fields indicated by slashes (/, //, or ///) are reserved. The figures are adapted from
the PowerPC User Instruction Set Architecture.
