ABSTRACT:
An arbitration unit includes an input unit, a selection unit and an output unit. The input unit may receive a plurality of input requests on a plurality of inputs. The selection unit may prioritize inputs into a priority order and may also select up to two of the input requests having a higher priority than others of the plurality of input requests during a current arbitration cycle. The output unit may provide an output indicative of which of the plurality of input requests were selected. During a subsequent arbitration cycle, the selection unit may reprioritize the plurality of inputs depending upon which of the plurality of input requests were selected.
