Load Register Signed Halfword (register) calculates an address from a base register value and an offset register value, loads a halfword from memory, sign-extends it to form a 32-bit word, and writes it to a register. The offset register value can be shifted left by 0, 1, 2, or 3 bits. For information about memory accesses see Memory accesses.
It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 and T2 ) .

| <q> |
| <Rt> |
Is the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field. |
| +/- |
Specifies the index register is added to or subtracted from the base register, defaulting to + if omitted and
encoded in
|
| + |
Specifies the index register is added to the base register. |
| <Rm> |
Is the general-purpose index register, encoded in the "Rm" field. |
| <imm> |
If present, the size of the left shift to apply to the value from <Rm>, in the range 1-3. <imm> is encoded in imm2. If absent, no shift is specified and imm2 is encoded as 0b00. |

If CPSR.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
