USAT16

Unsigned Saturate 16 saturates two signed 16-bit values to a selected unsigned range.

This instruction sets PSTATE.Q to 1 if the operation saturates.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

USAT16{<c>}{<q>} <Rd>, #<imm>, <Rn>

constant d = UInt(Rd); constant n = UInt(Rn); constant saturate_to = UInt(sat_imm); // Armv8-A removes UNPREDICTABLE for R13 if d == 15 || n == 15 then UNPREDICTABLE;

Assembler Symbols

<c>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<Rd>

Is the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<imm>

Is the bit position for saturation, in the range 0 to 15, encoded in the "sat_imm" field.

<Rn>

Is the general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); constant (result1, sat1) = UnsignedSatQ(SInt(R[n]<15:0>), saturate_to); constant (result2, sat2) = UnsignedSatQ(SInt(R[n]<31:16>), saturate_to); R[d]<15:0> = ZeroExtend(result1, 16); R[d]<31:16> = ZeroExtend(result2, 16); if sat1 || sat2 then PSTATE.Q = '1';
