Description
The contents of register rA is subtracted from the value of IMM, sign-extended to 32 bits, and the
result is placed into register rD. Bit 3 of the instruction (labeled as K in the figure) is set to one for the
mnemonic rsubik. Bit 4 of the instruction (labeled as C in the figure) is set to one for the mnemonic
rsubic. Both bits are set to one for the mnemonic rsubikc.
When an rsubi instruction has bit 3 set (rsubik, rsubikc), the carry flag will Keep its previous value
regardless of the outcome of the execution of the instruction. If bit 3 is cleared (rsubi, rsubic), then the
carry flag will be affected by the execution of the instruction. When bit 4 of the instruction is set to
one (rsubic, rsubikc), the content of the carry flag (MSR[C]) affects the execution of the instruction.
When bit 4 is cleared (rsubi, rsubik), the content of the carry flag does not affect the execution of the
instruction (providing a normal subtraction).
Pseudocode
if C = 0 then
(rD) ← sext(IMM) + (rA) + 1
else
(rD)
← sext(IMM) + (rA) + MSR[C]
if K = 0 then
MSR[C] ← CarryOut
Registers Altered
•rD

Latency

Note
In subtractions, Carry = (Borrow). When the Carry is set by a subtraction, it means that there is no
Borrow, and when the Carry is cleared, it means that there is a Borrow. By default, Type B Instructions
will take the 16-bit IMM field value and sign extend it to 32 bits to use as the immediate operand. This
behavior can be overridden by preceding the Type B instruction with an imm instruction. See the
instruction
“imm” for details on using 32-bit immediate values.
