SXTW <Xd>, <Wn>

Equivalent to: SBFM <Xd>, <Xn>, #0, #31

Explanations

<Xd>: Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.
<Wn>: Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operational Notes

If PSTATE.DIT is 1:

• The execution time of this instruction is independent of:
  • The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
• The response of this instruction to asynchronous exceptions does not vary based on:
  • The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
