BRA LT
Branch if Signed Less Than
Implemented in: PIC24F PIC24H PIC24E dsPIC30F dsPIC33F dsPIC33E
X X X X X X
Syntax: {label:} BRA LT, Expr
Operands: Expr may be a label, absolute address or expression.
Expr is resolved by the linker to a Slit16, where
Slit16 [-32768 ... +32767].
Operation: Condition = (N&&!OV)||(!N&&OV)
If (Condition)
(PC + 2) + 2 * Slit16 PC
NOP Instruction Register
Status Affected: None
Encoding: 0011 0101 nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn
Description: If the logical expression ( (N&&!OV)||(!N&&OV) ) is true, then the program
will branch relative to the next PC. The offset of the branch is the two’s
complement number ‘2 * Slit16’, which supports branches up to 32K
instructions forward or backward. The Slit16 value is resolved by the
linker from the supplied label, absolute address or expression.
If the branch is taken, the new address will be (PC + 2) + 2 * Slit16, since
the PC will have incremented to fetch the next instruction. The instruction
then becomes a two-cycle instruction, with a NOP executed in the second
cycle.
The ‘n’ bits are a signed literal that specifies the number of instructions
offset from (PC + 2).
Words: 1
Cycles: 1 (2 if branch taken) – PIC24F, PIC24H, dsPIC30F, dsPIC33F
1 (4 if branch taken) – PIC24E, dsPIC33E
Example 1:

002006 . . .
002008 . . .
00200A GOTO THERE
00200C BYPASS: . . .
00200E . . .
; If LT, branch to BYPASS
; Otherwise... continue
