Arbitration

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

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

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

Each algorithm may be complemented by selecting a default master configuration for each slave.

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