Overview

The TrbNetPriorityArbiter takes an INPUT_IN pattern and generate an RESULT_OUT pattern with only one bit enabled. Fixed priority is possible as well as round robin. The RESULT_OUT pattern is delayed by one CLK cycle, but it tries to look-forward and set one of the bits in advance, when INPUT_IN is zero.

PIN Name Description
0-7 RR_PATTERN Round robin cyclic pattern
8 WRITE_MASK Write the RR_PATTERN now
9 ROL Enable rolling of the RR_PATTERN

Functional description

Round robin is used, when the first bit of the RR_PATTERN is enabled. In order to mix RR with fixed priority, the RR_PATTERN should be constructed with a mixture of 1's and 0's, and the ROL bit should be enabled. In this case, with each CLK cycle the pattern is rolled.
