PIC Microcontoller Bit Math Method


Rotate a byte a variable number of positions

by Isaac Marino Bavaresco


I was needing a (very) efficient way to rotate a byte a variable number
of positions when the following popped on my mind(code in PIC18 assembly, see more code lower in the page):



        btfsc    TABLAT, 2, ACCESS
        swapf    PRODL, F, ACCESS
        btfsc    TABLAT, 1, ACCESS
        rrncf    PRODL, F, ACCESS
        btfsc    TABLAT, 1, ACCESS
        rrncf    PRODL, F, ACCESS
        btfsc    TABLAT, 0, ACCESS
        rrncf    PRODL, F, ACCESS

The number of positions to rotate is in TABLAT and the value to be
rotated is in PRODL.
The routine can rotate from zero to 7 positions, takes only 8
instructions and as a bonus it is isochronous.
Any other registers can be used. If banked registers are used then the bank selection must be cared of properly.



Macros for the PIC18 architecture:


;===============================================================================
; Macro to rotate a register a variable number of positions to the right.
; The number of positions to rotate must be in another register.
;
; Input:
;	value:		Register with the value to be rotated.
;	vacc:		Access method (ACCESS or BANKED) for the value.
;	positions:	Register with the number of positions to rotate.
;	pacc:		Access method (ACCESS or BANKED) for the positions.
;
; Output:
;	"value" register with the result.
;
; Changes:
;	"value" register.
;
; Side effects:
;	Flags Z and N may be affected.
;
; Notes:
;	- If both registers use access method BANKED, both must reside in the
;	  same bank.
;	- The code is isochronous (runs always in the same number of cycles).
