Abstract
A data bus arbiter for supporting pipelined transactions employs a circular FIFO for storing bus requests. The arbiter includes two pointers which reference the entries of the FIFO. A first pointer is incremented upon detection of the end of a bus cycle. A second pointer is incremented when a new bus cycle is started.
