SH3-DSP Registers

  • Article

SH3-DSP extends the capabilities of the SH-3 microprocessor, and adds registers that permit digital signal processing. Use volatile and nonvolatile registers for DSP instructions in the same way that the SH-3 Calling Sequence Specification defines register use.

If the calling function uses volatile registers, then calling function should save these before a subroutine call. The following list shows the volatile registers that the calling function should save:

  • As2 (R2)
  • As3 (R3)
  • As0/Ax0 (R4)
  • As1/Ax1 (R5)
  • Ay0 (R6)
  • Ay1 (R7))

The called function saves each non-volatile register that has a DSP alias. The following list shows the non-volatile registers:

  • Is/Ix (R8)
  • Iy (R9)
