Instruction Set of PIC16 series

• In PIC16 series, RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) is adopted and the number of the instructions to use is 35 kinds. 

• When the clicking mnemonic of each instruction, you can jump to the instruction specifications. 

• The terminology specification:
• Mnemonic: The assembler language which made an operation code plain.
• Operands: The specifications part except the operation code.
• MSb: Most Significant bit
• LSb: Least Significant bit
• Flag: The field of the STAUS register

• Data Memory Organization

• The data memory is partitioned into multiple banks which contain the general purpose registers and the special function registers. Bits RP1 (STATUS<6>) and RP0 (STATUS<5>) are the bank select bits.
