Abstract

An arbiter for use with a plurality of request signals is presented. The arbiter includes a sequence identifier to identify an order between the plurality of request signals. The arbiter provides a plurality of output signals in which each output signal is associated with a request signal. When the request signals are provided in a sequential order the output signals are provided in the identified sequential order. When the request signals are provided substantially at the same time the output signals are provided in an arbitrary sequential order. A corresponding signal arbitration method and an electronic circuit comprising the arbiter are also presented.
