OPERATION
This instruction adds a 9-bit signed constant to the stack pointer. The following table shows the THUMB assembler
syntax.
Table 4-14. The ADD SP Instruction
L THUMB assembler ARM equivalent Action
0 ADD SP, #Imm ADD R13, R13, #Imm Add #Imm to the stack pointer (SP).
1 ADD SP, # -Imm SUB R13, R13, #Imm Add #-Imm to the stack pointer (SP).
NOTE: The offset specified by #Imm can be up to -/+ 508, but must be word-aligned (ie with bits 1:0 set to 0)
since the assembler converts #Imm to an 8-bit sign + magnitude number before placing it in field SWord7.
The condition codes are not set by this instruction.
INSTRUCTION CYCLE TIMES
All instructions in this format have an equivalent ARM instruction as shown in Table 4-14. The instruction cycle times
for the THUMB instruction are identical to that of the equivalent ARM instruction.
EXAMPLES
ADD SP, #268 ; SP (R13) := SP + 268, but don't set the condition codes.
; Note that the THUMB opcode will
; contain 67 as the Word7 value and S=0.
ADD SP, #-104 ; SP (R13) := SP - 104, but don't set the condition codes.
; Note that the THUMB opcode will contain
; 26 as the Word7 value and S=1.
