LCDS - Load Data from Control and Status Register Space

The LCDS instruction is used to load data from the UPDI and ASI CS-space. LCDS is based on direct addressing, where the address is part of the instruction opcode. The total address space for LCDS is 16 bytes and can only access the internal UPDI register space. This instruction only supports byte access and the data size is not configurable.

Figure 1. LCDS Instruction Operation

The figure above shows a typical example of LCDS data transmission. A data byte from the LCDS space is transmitted from the UPDI after the Guard Time is completed.
