The table below shows the saturating instructions.

For signed n-bit saturation, this means that:



If the value to be saturated is less than -2

n-1

, the result returned is -2



If the value to be saturated is greater than 2

n-1

-1, the result returned is 2

-1



Otherwise, the result returned is the same as the value to be saturated.

For unsigned n-bit saturation, this means that:



If the value to be saturated is less than 0, the result returned is 0



If the value to be saturated is greater than 2

-1, the result returned is 2

-1



Otherwise, the result returned is the same as the value to be saturated.

If the returned result is different from the value to be saturated, it is called saturation. If saturation occurs, the
instruction sets the Q flag to 1 in the APSR. Otherwise, it leaves the Q flag unchanged. To clear the Q flag to 0, the

MSR

 instruction must be used; see 

.

To read the state of the Q flag, the 

MRS

 instruction must be used; see 

.
