FSCALE Scale by a power of 2 Exceptions: I O U C3 C2 C1 C0: ? ? * ? FSCALE
Logic ST ← ST * 2**ST(1)
FSCALE interprets the contents of ST(1) as an integer, and uses it as an exponent of 2 with which to multiply the contents of ST. Thus, FSCALE provides a quick way to multiply or divide by a power of 2.
The number in ST(1) must be -2**15 <= ST(1) < 2**15. It is truncated before the operation is performed. If 0 < ST(1) < 1, the result is undefined (and no exception is generated).
