Abstract

The invention relates to a microprocessor (MP) comprising means to decode (DEC1) a compact instruction (BMV) for the concatenation of at least one bit (b.sub.i) of a first binary word (W1) with at least one bit of a second binary word (W2), and means (REGBANK, MUX, BSHIFT) to process this instruction in one clock cycle. Advantages: fast processing of a concatenation operation. Application especially to chip cards.
