Abstract
An arbiter with an arbitration hold feature is provided which makes it possible to begin an arbitration cycle while information is still being transferred via a bus because the arbiter does not reallocate the bus until the present transfer is complete, as indicated by the arbitration hold feature. Accordingly, arbitration can essentially be overlapped with transfer of information over the bus, thus increasing the amount of information which can be transferred in a given interval of time.
