Abstract
Requests are received by a routing circuit. A plurality of first round-robin arbitration circuits are coupled to the routing circuit. There are as many first round-robin arbitration circuits as there are possible priority levels for the requests. The routing circuit operates to transmit each received request to a number of first round-robin arbitration circuits determined according to the priority level of the request. A second round-robin arbitration circuit has inputs respectively connected to the outputs of the first round-robin arbitration circuits.
