Published

The granting of requests in the order of their arrival is not satisfied in existing 1/n arbiters, such as token rings, tree arbiters and networks of two-way arbiters. The proposed solution stores pending grants in a FIFO, thus maximally preserving the request order, improves fairness and offers lower metastability rate.

Inspec keywords: network interfaces; asynchronous circuits; buffer storage

Other keywords: request order preservation; metastability rate reduction; asynchronous systems; pending grants storage; ordered arbiters; FIFO storage

Subjects: Logic and switching circuits; Semiconductor storage; Network interfaces
