program memory. The size includes both the opcode and the instruction’s

data, if any.

The number of CPU cycles required to execute the instruction

Each machine instruction requires a number of processor clock cycles

(within the Neuron Chip or Smart Transceiver) to execute. The number

of cycles ranges from one to seven, depending on the type of operation.

The instruction’s affect on the Carry flag

Many machine instructions have an affect on the Carry flag, and some

use the contents of the Carry flag to perform their operation. The Carry

flag can be used, modified, or cleared by an instruction.

The description for each instruction also describes whether the instruction

applies to Series 3100 devices, Series 5000 and 6000 devices, or to both device

series. Most instructions apply to both series.
