ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference

Arithmetic Operations
Exponents are unsigned integers. The Exponent Detection instruction
accommodates the two special cases (0 and –1) and always returns the
smallest exponent for each case.
The reference exponent and destination exponent are 16-bit half-word
unsigned values. The sample number can be either a word or half-word.
The Exponent Detection instruction does not implicitly modify input val-
ues. The
dest_reg
and
exponent_register
can be the same D-register.
Doing this explicitly modifies the
exponent_register
.
The valid range of exponents is 0 through 31, with 31 representing the
smallest 32-bit number magnitude and 15 representing the smallest 16-bit
number magnitude.
Exponent Detection supports three types of samples—one 32-bit sample,
one 16-bit sample (either upper-half or lower-half word), and two 16-bit
samples that occupy the upper-half and lower-half words of a single 32-bit
register.
Flags Affected
None
L
The ADSP-BF535 processor has fewer
ASTAT
flags and some flags
operate differently than subsequent Blackfin family products. For
more information on the ADSP-BF535 status flags, see

Parallel Issue
This instruction can be issued in parallel with specific other 16-bit
instructions. For details, see
