ABSTRACT:
An electronic circuit (4000) includes a bias value generator circuit (3900) operable to supply a varying bias value in a programmable range, and an instruction circuit (3625, 4010) responsive to a first instruction to program the range of said bias value generator circuit (3900) and further responsive to a second instruction having an operand to repeatedly issue said second instruction with said operand varied in an operand value range determined as a function of the varying bias value.
