MSP430 Instructions
4-87
16-Bit MSP430X CPU
JGE
Jump if Greater or Equal (signed)
Syntax
JGE
label
Operation
If (N .xor. V) = 0:
PC + (2
×
Offset)
→
PC
If (N .xor. V) = 1:
execute following instruction
Description
The negative bit N and the overflow bit V in the status register are tested. If both
bits are set or both are reset, the signed 10-bit word offset contained in the
instruction is multiplied by two, sign extended, and added to the 20-bit program
counter PC. This means a jump in the range -511 to +512 words relative to the
PC in full Memory range. If only one bit is set, the instruction after the jump is
executed.
JGE is used for the comparison of signed operands: also for incorrect results
due to overflow, the decision made by the JGE instruction is correct.
Note: JGE emulates the non-implemented JP (jump if positive) instruction if
used after the instructions AND, BIT, RRA, SXTX and TST. These instructions
clear the V-bit.
Status Bits
Status bits are not affected
Mode Bits
OSCOFF, CPUOFF, and GIE are not affected
Example
If byte EDE (lower 64 K) contains positive data, go to Label1. Software can run
in the full memory range.
TST.B
&EDE
; Is EDE positive? V <- 0
JGE
Label1
; Yes, JGE emulates JP
...
; No, 80h <= EDE <= FFh
Example
If the content of R6 is greater than or equal to the memory pointed to by R7, the
program continues a Label5. Signed data. Data and program in full memory
range.
CMP
@R7,R6
; Is R6
≥
@R7?
JGE
Label5
; Yes, go to Label5
...
; No, continue here.
Example
If R5
≥
12345h (signed operands) the program continues at Label2. Program
in full memory range.
CMPA
#12345h,R5
; Is R5
≥
12345h?
JGE
Label2
; Yes, 12344h < R5 <= 7FFFFh.
...
; No, 80000h <= R5 < 12345h.
