'''MOVW''' (Move Word) is an [[SPC700]] instruction that moves a 16-bit [[direct page]] value to or from the [[YA]] register.  There are no variations of MOVW that do not operate on YA.  MOVW performs a read cycle on the low byte of the destination, but not the source.<sup>[2]</sup>


'''MOVW''' (Move Word) is an [[SPC700]] instruction that moves a 16-bit [[ARAM]] value to or from the [[YA]] register. There are no variations of MOVW that do not operate on YA.
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.

MOVW (Move Word) is an SPC700 instruction that moves a 16-bit direct page value to or from the YA register. There are no variations of MOVW that do not operate on YA. MOVW performs a read cycle on the low byte of the destination, but not the source.[2]

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.

Example

From the IPL ROM,

MOVW YA, $F6	; load the byte at direct page location $F6 into A and the byte at direct page location $F7 into Y
MOVW $00, YA	; store the value in Y to direct page location $01 and the value in A to direct page location $00
