Unsigned Saturating Subtract 8

UQSUB8<c> <Rd>, <Rn>, <Rm>

Unsigned saturating subtract of 4 bytes.

Details

Performs unsigned saturating subtraction of four 8-bit bytes in parallel. Each byte of Rm is subtracted from the corresponding byte of Rn; if the result would be negative, it saturates to 0. No condition flags are affected; saturation status is not recorded.

Pseudocode Operation

for i = 0 to 3 do
  byte_rn ← Rn[8*i+7:8*i]; byte_rm ← Rm[8*i+7:8*i]
  diff ← byte_rn - byte_rm
  Rd[8*i+7:8*i] ← (diff < 0) ? 0 : diff

Example

UQSUB8 r0, r1, r2

Description

Unsigned Saturating Subtract 8 performs four unsigned 8-bit integer subtractions, saturates the results to the 8-bit unsigned integer range 0 <= x <= 28 - 1, and writes the results to the destination register.
