Abstract

Arbitration circuitry is provided to select an output from between multiple inputs each having an associated priority value. A tie-break value is appended to the least significant bits of each of the priority values to form extended priority values before those extended priority values are compared. Thus, if two priority values are equal, then the appended tie-break bits are used to determine which of the two inputs will be selected as having the higher priority.
