Signed Extend Halfword (Thumb)

SXTH <Rd>, <Rm>

Sign-extends halfword to word (Thumb).

Details

Sign-extends a 16-bit halfword value to a 32-bit word in the T32 (Thumb) instruction set. The least-significant halfword of Rm is sign-extended and written to Rd. No condition flags are affected.

Pseudocode Operation

Rd = SignExtend(Rm[15:0], 32)

Example

SXTH r0, r2

Description

Signed Extend Halfword extracts a 16-bit value from a register, sign-extends it to 32 bits, and writes the result to the destination register. The instruction can specify a rotation by 0, 8, 16, or 24 bits before extracting the 16-bit value.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then
    EncodingSpecificOperations();
    rotated = ROR(R[m], rotation);
    R[d] = SignExtend(rotated<15:0>, 32);
