4.2 Operation 
When the ABIE bit in ABRKSR is set to 1, if the ABIF bit in ABRKSR is set to 1 by the 
combination of the address set in BAR, the data set in BDR, and the conditions set in ABRKCR, 
the address break function generates an interrupt request to the CPU. When the interrupt request is 
accepted, interrupt exception handling starts after the instruction being executed ends. The address 
break interrupt is not masked because of the I bit in CCR of the CPU. 
Figures 4.2 (1) to (2) show the operation examples of the address break interrupt setting.
