MOV is an SPC700 instruction that moves a value. There are a large number of variations for this instruction, and they are divided into three groups:

• In Group 1, MOV moves values from ARAM to registers.
• In Group 2, MOV moves values from registers to ARAM.
• In Group 3, MOV moves values from registers to registers or from ARAM to ARAM.

Most MOV variations that target memory perform a read cycle on the destination, which will reset T2OUT.^[3] The operands are stored in the instruction stream in the opposite order they appear in the assembler source. In the assembler source, the operand on the right is the source and the operand on the left is the destination.
