PIC24FJ16MC101/102 AND PIC24FJ32MC101/102/104
24.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features
of the PIC24FJ16MC101/102 and
PIC24FJ32MC101/102/104 devices.
However, it is not intended to be a com-
prehensive reference source. To comple-
ment the information in this data sheet,
refer to the latest family reference sec-
tions of the “PIC24F Family Reference
Manual”, which are available from the
Microchip web site (www.microchip.com).
2: It is important to note that the
specifications in Section 26.0 “Electri-
cal Characteristics” of this data sheet,
supercede any specifications that may be
provided in PIC24F Family Reference
Manual sections.
The PIC24F instruction set adds many enhancements
to the previous PIC^® MCU instruction sets, while main-
taining an easy migration from previous PIC MCU
instruction sets.
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
• Control operations
Table 24-1 shows the general symbols used in
describing the instructions.
The PIC24FXXXX instruction set summary in Table 24-
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 be either 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 can
use some of the following operands:
• A literal value to be loaded into a W register or file
register (specified by ‘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 can use some of the following
operands:
• A program memory address
• The mode of the table read and table write
instructions
