Arbiter Behavior

Arbiter Behavior

  • it just cycles it’s state from A->B->C->A each clock cycle
  • it outputs sel=X if no controller is passing the control i.e. no token is being passed
  • otherwise it outputs sel=present state, e.g. sel=A means that controllerA is offered the token
  • this way each controller has the possibility of getting the token (we hope)
