VCVTUSI2SH

Converts an unsigned packed 32-bit integer value to a signed packed 16-bit integer value. The instruction converts the u32 source to an i16 destination; if the value is outside the representable range of a signed 16-bit integer, the result is saturated to the maximum or minimum representable value of i16.

The following table covers the supported source and destination operands.

DO NOT support LOCK

This instruction is only available when the processor is operating in 64-bit mode or compatibility mode. It requires the AVX CPUID feature flag to be supported.

When the input u32 value exceeds the maximum representable value of a signed 16-bit integer (32767), the result is saturated to the maximum signed 16-bit integer. If the input is larger than the capacity of the target register width, the operation is performed element-wise. Failure to ensure the source register contains valid u32 elements may result in unintended saturation or conversion of adjacent data.
