CHAPTER 5 PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION FOR THE FR FAMILY CPU
5.4.1

Processing Non-delayed Branching Instructions

The FR family CPU processes non-delayed branching instructions in the order in which the
program is written, introducing a 1-cycle delay in execution speed if branching takes place.
■ Examples of Processing Non-delayed Branching Instructions
Figure 5.4-1shows an example of processing a non-delayed branching instruction when branching
conditions are satisfied.
In this example, the instruction "ST R2,@R12" (which immediately follows the branching instruction) has
entered the pipeline operation before the fetching of the branch destination instruction, but is canceled
during execution.
As a result, the program is processed in the order in which it is written, and the branching instruction
requires an apparent processing time of two cycles.
Figure 5.4-1 Example: Processing a Non-delayed Branching Instruction (Branching Conditions Satisfied)
LD @R10, R1
LD @R11, R2
ADD R1, R3
BNE TestOK(branching conditions satisfied)
ST R2, @R12(instruction immediately after)
ST R2, @R13(branch destination instruction)
-- : Canceled stages
: PC change
Figure 5.4-2shows an example of processing a non-delayed branching instruction when branching
conditions are not satisfied.
In this example, the instruction "ST R2,@R12" (which immediately follows the branching instruction) has
entered the pipeline operation before the fetching of the branch destination instruction, and is executed
without being canceled.
Because instructions are executed without branching, the program is processed in the order in which it is
written. The branching instruction requires an apparent processing time of one cycle.

LD @R10, R1
LD @R11, R2
ADD R1, R3
BNE TestOK(branching conditions not satisfied)
ST R2, @R12(instruction immediately after)
ADD #4, R12(subsequent instruction)
