All Rights Reserved For Academic Use Only Buses 101 Bus masters have the ability to initiate a bus transaction Bus slaves can only respond to a request Bus arbitration is a three-step process: A device requesting to become a bus master asserts a bus request signal The arbiter continuously monitors the request and outputs an individual grant signal to each master, according to the masters priority scheme and the state of the other master requests at that time The requesting device samples its grant signal until the master is granted access. The master then initiates a data transfer between the master and a slave when the current bus master releases the bus Arbitration mechanisms Fixed priority, round-robin, a hybrid Hardware Design 2004 Xilinx, Inc.
