ST STM32C0 Series Programming Manual

The STM32 Cortex-M4 instruction set PM0214
126/262 PM0214 Rev 9
3.7.1 SSAT and USAT
Signed Saturate and Unsigned Saturate to any bit position, with optional shift before
saturating.
Syntax
op{cond} Rd, #n, Rm {, shift #s}
Where:
• op’ is one of:
SSAT: Saturates a signed value to a signed range.
USAT: Saturates a signed value to an unsigned range.
• ‘cond’ is an optional condition code (see Conditional execution on page 65).
• ‘Rd’ is the destination register.
• ‘n’ specifies the bit position to saturate to:
n ranges from 1 to 32 for SSAT
n ranges from 0 to 31 for USAT.
• ‘Rm’ is the register containing the value to saturate.
• ‘shift #s’ is an optional shift applied to Rm before saturating. It must be one of the
following:
ASR #s: where s is in the range 1 to 31.
LSL #s: where s is in the range 0 to 31.
Operation
These instructions saturate to a signed or unsigned n-bit value.
The SSAT instruction applies the specified shift, then saturates to the signed range -2
n–1
≤ x
≤ 2
n–1
-1.
The USAT instruction applies the specified shift, then saturates to the unsigned range 0 ≤ x ≤
2
n-1
.
Restrictions
Do not use SP and do not use PC.
Condition flags
These instructions do not affect the condition code flags.
If saturation occurs, these instructions set the Q flag to 1.
Examples
SSAT R7, #16, R7, LSL #4 ; Logical shift left value in R7 by 4, then
; saturate it as a signed 16-bit value and
; write it back to R7
USATNE R0, #7, R5; Conditionally saturate value in R5 as an
; unsigned 7 bit value and write it to R0.
