Syntax

op{cond} {Rd}, Rn, Rm

op{cond} {Rd}, Rn, Rm

where:
opis one of:
UQADD8 Saturating four unsigned 8-bit integer additions.
UQADD16 Saturating two unsigned 16-bit integer additions.
UDSUB8 Saturating four unsigned 8-bit integer subtractions.
UQSUB16 Saturating two unsigned 16-bit integer subtractions.
condis an optional condition code, see 

.

Rdis the destination register.
Rn, Rmare registers holding the first and second operands.
Operation
These instructions add or subtract two or four values and then writes an unsigned saturated value in the 

destination register. 
The UQADD16 instruction:



Adds the respective top and bottom halfwords of the first and second operands.



Saturates the result of the additions for each halfword in the destination register to the unsigned range 

0 ≤ x ≤ 2

16

-1, where x is 16.

The UQADD8 instruction:



Adds each respective byte of the first and second operands.



Saturates the result of the addition for each byte in the destination register to the unsigned range 0 ≤ x ≤ 2

8

-

1, where x is 8.

The UQSUB16 instruction:



Subtracts both halfwords of the second operand from the respective halfwords of the first operand.



Saturates the result of the differences in the destination register to the unsigned range 0 ≤ x ≤ 2

16

-1, where x 

is 16.

The UQSUB8 instructions:



Subtracts the respective bytes of the second operand from the respective bytes of the first operand.



Saturates the results of the differences for each byte in the destination register to the unsigned range 

0 ≤ x ≤ 2

8

-1, where x is 8.
