[size=2]Hey[/size]

[size=2]Can someone please explain why instructions that modify the value of the PC (such as branches or [/size][size=2]mov pc, lr[/size][size=2]) requireadditional clock cycles to execute than those who don't operate on the PC. [/size]

[size=2]does branch link modify the value of PC or LR?[/size]

[size=2]thanks [/size]
