14.4 QADD, QDADD, QSUB, and QDSUB instructions
This section describes the cycle timing behavior for the
QADD
,
QDADD
,
QSUB
, and
QDSUB
instructions.
These instructions perform saturating arithmetic. They have a result latency of two. The
QDADD
and QDSUB instructions must double and saturate the register before the addition. This
register is an Early Reg.
Table 14-5 shows the cycle timing behavior for QADD , QDADD , QSUB , and QDSUB instructions.
