Load and Store Instructions

5-39

5.8.1 First Dword

IT[2:0]

Instruction Type

[31:29]

These bits should be 0b111, indicating the Load and
Store instruction.

DSA

DSA Relative

28

When this bit is cleared, the value in the

DMA SCRIPTS

Pointer Save (DSPS)

is the actual 32-bit memory address

to perform the Load and Store to/from. When this bit is
set, the chip determines the memory address to perform
the Load and Store to/from by adding the 24 bit signed
offset value in the

DMA SCRIPTS Pointer Save (DSPS)

to the

Data Structure Address (DSA)

.

R

Reserved

[27:26]

NF

No Flush (Store instruction only)

25

When this bit is set, the LSI53C876 performs a Store
without flushing the prefetch unit. When this bit is cleared,
the Store instruction automatically flushes the prefetch
unit. Use No Flush if the source and destination are not
within four instructions of the current Store instruction.
This bit is has no effect on the Load instruction.

Note:

This bit has no effect unless the Prefetch Enable bit in the

DMA Control (DCNTL)

register is set. For information on

SCRIPTS instruction prefetching, see

Chapter 2, “Func-

tional Description.”

LS

Load and Store

24

When this bit is set, the instruction is a Load. When
cleared, it is a Store.

R

Reserved

23

RA[6:0]

Register Address

[22:16]

A[6:0] selects the register to Load and Store to/from
within the LSI53C876.

R

Reserved

[15:3]

BC

Byte Count

[2:0]

This value is the number of bytes to Load and Store.
