Cycles per instruction?

Is there a list of assembly instructions and the amount of cycles each one takes for the M3 cortex (LPC1343)?

I am trying to figure out how long sections of assembly code takes.


Thanks
Dave

On the Cortex-M3: Most instructions are a single clock cycle except for branches, which are two clock cycles.

On the Cortex-M0: Most instructions are a single clock cycle unless they fetch data. When an instruction fetches data from memory (not immediate or register values), it takes two clock cycles (because the M0 core only has one bus). Branches are 3 clock cycles.

When calculating instruction timing you need to be aware of wait states imposed when accessing flash. You can get some odd behavior in tight loops depending the alignment of the code.

For future reference, we keep a list of useful ARM documentation in the following FAQ:
