## SQXTN, SQXTN2

Signed saturating extract Narrow. This instruction reads each vector element from the source SIMD&FP register, saturates the value to half the original width, places the result into a vector, and writes the vector to the lower or upper half of the destination SIMD&FP register. The destination vector elements are half as long as the source vector elements. All the values in this instruction are signed integer values.

If overflow occurs with any of the results, those results are saturated. If saturation occurs, the cumulative saturation bit FPSR.QC is set.

The SQXTN instruction writes the vector to the lower half of the destination register and clears the upper half, while the SQXTN2 instruction writes the vector to the upper half of the destination register without affecting the other bits of the register.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Scalar and Vector

### Assembler Symbols

2 | Is the second and upper half specifier. If present it causes the operation to be performed on the upper 64 bits of the registers holding the narrower elements, and is encoded in Q:
Q | 2
--- | ---
0 | [absent]
1 | [present]

<Vd> | Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Tb> | Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in size:Q:
size | Q | <Tb>
--- | --- | ---
00 | 0 | 8B
00 | 1 | 16B
01 | 0 | 4H
01 | 1 | 8H
10 | 0 | 2S
10 | 1 | 4S
11 | x | RESERVED

<Vn> | Is the name of the SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Ta> | Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in size:
size | <Ta>
--- | ---
00 | 8H
01 | 4S
10 | 2D
11 | RESERVED

<Vb> | Is the destination width specifier, encoded in size:
size | <Vb>
--- | ---
00 | B
01 | H
10 | S

<d> | Is the number of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Va> | Is the source width specifier, encoded in size:
size | <Va>
--- | ---
00 | H
01 | S
10 | D
11 | RESERVED

<n> | Is the number of the SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

### Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64(); bits(2*datasize) operand = V[n, 2*datasize]; bits(datasize) result; bits(2*esize) element; boolean sat; for e = 0 to elements-1 element = Elem[operand, e, 2*esize]; (Elem[result, e, esize], sat) = SatQ(Int(element, unsigned), esize, unsigned); if sat then FPSR.QC = '1'; Vpart[d, part, datasize] = result;
