Table 4–38. Class 9c Instruction Description
C9c Mnemonic Description
0 MOV APn, imm6 Load the accumulator pointer (AP) with a 5-bit constant.
1 ADD APn, imm5 Add a 5-bit constant imm5 to the referenced accumulator pointer(AP).
Table 4–39. Class 9d Instruction Description
C9d Mnemonic Description
0 0 0 0 BEGLOOP Marks the beginning of loop. Queue interrupts and pushes the next PC value onto a
temporary stack location.
0 0 0 1 ENDLOOP n If R4 is not negative, pops the temporary stack value back on the PC and decrements
R4 by n. If R4 is negative, the instruction is a NOP and execution will exit the loop. n is
either 1 or 2
0 0 1 0 IDLE Stops processor clocks. Device enters low power mode waiting on an interrupt to
restart the clocks and execution.
1 0 0 0 INTE Sets IM bit in status register to a 1, thus enabling interrupts.
1 0 0 1 INTD Sets IM bit in status register to a 0, thus disabling interrupts.
1 0 1 0 SXM Sets XM in status register to 1 enabling sign extension mode.
1 0 1 1 RXM Sets XM in status register to 0, disabling sign extension mode.
1 1 0 0 SFM Sets FM in status register to 1, enabling multiplier shift mode for signed fractional
arithmetic.
1 1 0 1 RFM Sets FM in status register to 0, enabling multiplier shift mode for unsigned fractional
or integer arithmetic.
1 1 1 0 SOVM Set OM bit in status register to 1, enabling ALU saturation output (DSP mode).
1 1 1 1 ROVM Set OM bit in status register to 0, disabling the saturating ALU operation (normal
mode).
4.5 Bit, Byte, Word and String Addressing
The MSP50P614/MSP50C614 has instructions which address bits, bytes,
words and strings in data memory or program memory. Data memory is always
accessed in bytes by the hardware, but is based on the instruction. The data
memory location is treated as a byte, word, or flag address. There are five
different kinds of addresses: byte addresses, byte-string addresses, word
addresses, word-string addresses, and flag addresses. Each type of address
is described below. Refer to Figure 4–3 and Table 4–40 for reference.
Byte and byte string address: Byte addressing is used to access individual
bytes with an instruction in byte mode. Such instructions have a suffix, B, at
the end of instruction name (for example, ADDB, MOVB, etc.). A byte string
