Branch Content

Relative Branches (Class 5)

The operand off-set, which is a signed 16-bits number, is added to the current PC content to cause a branch relative to the address of the current instruction. This will make easier for an Operating System to allocate programs anywhere in memory since they won't point to absolute memory addresses. Notice, however, that this off-set is limited to the range:    -32,768 to +32,767.

[5][0][OR][PC], off-set               Example: JPR   0x8   ; 0x5031, 0x0008
[5][condition][OR][PC], off-set       Example: JNZR  0x8   ; 0x5231, 0x0008
