19.3.3 Arbitration

The MATRIX provides an arbitration technique that reduces latency when conflicting cases occur; for example. when two or more Hosts try to access the same Client at the same time. One arbiter per AHB Client is provided, so that each Client is arbitrated differently.

The MATRIX provides the user with two arbitration types for each Client:

  1. Round-robin Arbitration (default)
  2. Fixed Priority Arbitration

Each algorithm may be complemented by selecting a default Host configuration for each Client.

When re-arbitration is required, specific conditions apply. Refer to the "Arbitration Rules" section.
