21.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Note:
This data sheet summarizes the features
of this group of PIC24HJXXXGPX06/X08/
X10 devices. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive reference source. To com-
plement the information in this data sheet,
refer to the “PIC24H Family Reference
Manual”. Refer to the Microchip web site

sections.
The PIC24H instruction set is identical to that of the
PIC24F, and is a subset of the dsPIC30F/33F
instruction set.
Most instructions are a single program memory word
(24 bits). Only three instructions require two program
memory locations.
Each single-word instruction is a 24-bit word, divided
into an 8-bit opcode, which specifies the instruction
type and one or more operands, which further specify
the operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into five basic categories:
• Word or byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal operations
• DSP operations
• Control operations
Table 21-1 shows the general symbols used in
describing the instructions.
The PIC24H instruction set summary in Table 21-2 lists
all the instructions, along with the status flags affected
by each instruction.
Most word or byte-oriented W register instructions
(including barrel shift instructions) have three
operands:
• The first source operand which is typically a
register ‘Wb’ without any address modifier
• The second source operand which is typically a
register ‘Ws’ with or without an address modifier
• The destination of the result which is typically a
register ‘Wd’ with or without an address modifier
However, word or byte-oriented file register instructions
have two operands:
• The file register specified by the value ‘f’
• The destination, which could either be the file
register ‘f’ or the W0 register, which is denoted as
‘WREG’
Most bit-oriented instructions (including simple
rotate/shift instructions) have two operands:
• The W register (with or without an address
modifier) or file register (specified by the value of
‘Ws’ or ‘f’)
• The bit in the W register or file register
(specified by a literal value or indirectly by the
contents of register ‘Wb’)
The literal instructions that involve data movement may
use some of the following operands:
• A literal value to be loaded into a W register or file
register (specified by the value of ‘k’)
• The W register or file register where the literal
value is to be loaded (specified by ‘Wb’ or ‘f’)
However, literal instructions that involve arithmetic or
logical operations use some of the following operands:
• The first source operand which is a register ‘Wb’
without any address modifier
• The second source operand which is a literal
value
• The destination of the result (only if not the same
as the first source operand) which is typically a
register ‘Wd’ with or without an address modifier
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A program memory address
• The mode of the table read and table write
instructions
