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]

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
