3.29.1 OPERATION
These instructions transfer half-word values between a Lo register and memory. Addresses are pre-indexed,
using a 6-bit immediate value. The THUMB assembler syntax is shown in Table 3-17.

STRH Rd, [Rb, #Imm] STRH Rd, [Rb, #Imm] Add #Imm to base address in Rb and store bits 0–15 of

LDRH Rd, [Rb, #Imm] LDRH Rd, [Rb, #Imm] Add #Imm to base address in Rb. Load bits 0–15 from the
NOTE: #Imm is a full 6-bit address but must be half-word-aligned (ie with bit 0 set to 0),
since the assembler places #Imm >> 1 in the Offset5 field.
3.29.2 INSTRUCTION CYCLE TIMES
All instructions in this format have an equivalent ARM instruction as shown in Table 3-17. The instruction cycle
times for the THUMB instruction are identical to that of the equivalent ARM instruction.
