Signed saturating extract unsigned narrow
This instruction reads each signed integer value in the vector of the source SIMD&FP register, saturates the value to an unsigned integer value that is half the original width, places the result into a vector, and writes the vector to the lower or upper half of the destination SIMD&FP register. The destination vector elements are half as long as the source vector elements.
If saturation occurs, the cumulative saturation bit FPSR.QC is set.
The SQXTUN instruction writes the vector to the lower half of the destination register and clears the upper half. The SQXTUN2 instruction writes the vector to the upper half of the destination register without affecting the other bits of the register.
Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.
It has encodings from 2 classes: Scalar and Vector
