Abstract
A system on a chip (SOC) bus architecture may comprise a plurality of masters operable to request communications over a AMBA-type bus. An arbiter may receive requests and burst control signals directly from the masters. The arbiter may determine a burst length associated with a request and may also grant a master allowance to access the bus. The arbiter may configure a multiplexer to couple the granted master to the bus dependent on the determined burst length.
