Abstract
A bit field system is disclosed which includes a processor as well as a bit field peripheral device which is accessed via dedicated bit field addresses. Such a system efficiently executes bit field operations. Additionally, such a system advantageously provides a processor which does not include an original bit field instruction set with the ability of performing bit field operations. Such a system also advantageously avoids difficulties involved in encoding bit field instructions.
