The number of bus read and write cycles are shown in parenthesis as (r/w). Any other cycles are internal.

In the following tables, the headings have the following meanings:

  • An : Address register operand
  • Dn : Data register operand
  • ea : Operand specified by an effective address
  • M : Memory effective address operand

To get the real execution time, multiply the total cycles count by 83.33ns (1/12MHz). An example is given in each section.

The vertical blank lasts exactly 40 lines * 384 pixels * 2 cycles per pixel = 30720 cycles (2.56ms).

See optimization.

Effective address operand calculation

This table lists the number of clock periods required to compute an instruction's effective address. It includes fetching of any extension words, the address computation, and fetching of the memory operand.

Syntax Adressing mode B,W L
Dn Data register direct 0(0/0) 0(0/0)
An Address register direct 0(0/0) 0(0/0)
(An) Address register indirect 4(1/0) 8(2/0)
(An)+ Address register indirect, post inc. 4(1/0) 8(2/0)
-(An) Address register indirect, pre dec. 6(1/0) 10(2/0)
d(An) Address register indirect, displacement 8(2/0) 12(3/0)
d(An,ix) Address register indirect, index 10(2/0) 14(3/0)
xxx.w Absolute short 8(2/0) 12(3/0)
xxx.l Absolute long 12(3/0) 16(4/0)
d(PC) PC with displacement 8(2/0) 12(3/0)
d(PC,ix) PC with index 10(2/0) 14(3/0)
#xxx Immediate 4(1/0) 8(2/0)

Notes:

  • Pre-dec is slower than post-inc
  • There are no write cycles involved in processing the effective address
  • The size of the index register (ix) does not affect execution time

		    n is defined as:
		MULU: n = the number of ones in the <ea>
		MULS: n = concatenate the <ea> with a zero as the LSB;

			  in the 17-bit source; i.e., worst case happens
