4. © 2009, Renesas Technology America, Inc., All Rights Reserved Load-Store Architecture  Arithmetic instructions have operands in the register  A generous register set is required and provided  Operands must be loaded from memory  Execution time is very fast and predictable.  Local arithmetic execution time is independent of data path  Standard data length is 32 bits (longword)  Any 8- or 16-bit data is sign-extended for arithmetic operations, or zero-extended for logic operations Operated Upon Memory Register

5. © 2009, Renesas Technology America, Inc., All Rights Reserved 5 Immediate Data  Byte immediate data is stored in instruction code  Word or longword immediate data is located in memory tables (literal pools) accessed via a PC-relative addressing mode MOV instruction Classification SH-2 CPU Example of another CPU

7. © 2009, Renesas Technology America, Inc., All Rights Reserved Addressing modes define how/where to find operands Single-Address Machine  Because the SH-2 is a SINGLE-ADDRESS machine...  At least one operand is always stored in a register  The other operand is defined by the addressing mode  The addressing mode defines the Effective Address (EffA) calculation. Exception: MAC @Rm+,@Rn+ Example: Store contents of register R1 in memory; address of memory is in R2 MOV.L R1,@R2 - Source operand is general register R1 - Destination is memory; address is in R2 (Addressing mode: Register indirect)
