THUMB-enabled ARM Implementation

THUMB-enabled ARM microprocessors are able to execute 16-bit THUMB instructions in addition to the usual 32-bit ARM instructions. In order to execute THUMB instructions, switch the microprocessor into THUMB mode. To resume executing ARM instructions, switch the microprocessor back into ARM mode.
