4/17/98 6-63 Addressing Modes and Data Types
BGE Branch if greater than or equal to (signed)
Syntax: BGE rel8
Operation: (PC) <-- (PC) + 2
if (N) XOR (V) = 0 then
(PC) <-- (PC + rel8*2)
(PC.0) <-- 0
Description: The branch is taken if the last compare instruction had a destination value that was
greater than or equal to the source value, in a signed operation. The branch range is +254 bytes to
-256 bytes, with the limitation that the target address is word aligned in code memory.
Note: Refer to section 6.3 for details of branch range
