INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Each PIC16CXX instruction is a 14-bit word divided
into an OPCODE which specifies the instruction type
and one or more operands which further specify the
operation of the instruction. The PIC16CXX instruction
set summary in Table 13-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-ori-
ented,
and
literal and control
operations. Table 13-1
shows the opcode field descriptions.
For
byte-oriented
instructions, ’f’ represents a file reg-
ister designator and ’d’ represents a destination desig-
nator. The file register designator specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If ’d’ is zero, the result is
placed in the W register. If ’d’ is one, the result is placed
in the file register specified in the instruction.
For
bit-oriented
instructions, ’b’ represents a bit field
designator which selects the number of the bit affected
by the operation, while ’f’ represents the number of the
file in which the bit is located.
For
literal and control
operations, ’k’ represents an
eight or eleven bit constant or literal value.
execution time is 1
µs.
If a conditional test is true or the
program counter is changed as a result of an instruc-
tion, the instruction execution time is 2
µs.

Note:
To maintain upward compatibility with
future PIC16CXX products, do not use the
OPTION
and
TRIS
instructions.
All examples use the following format to represent a
hexadecimal number:
0xhh
where h signifies a hexadecimal digit.

The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into three basic categories:
•
Byte-oriented
operations
•
Bit-oriented
operations
•
Literal and control
operations
All instructions are executed within one single instruc-
tion cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the pro-
gram counter is changed as a result of an instruction.
In this case, the execution takes two instruction cycles
with the second cycle executed as a
NOP.
One instruc-
tion cycle consists of four oscillator periods. Thus, for
an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal instruction
k = 11-bit immediate value
