Abstract:
A device includes a data path, a first interface configured to receive a first memory access request from a first peripheral device, and a second interface configured to receive a second memory access request from a second peripheral device. The device further includes an arbiter circuit configured to determine a first destination device connected to the data path and associated with the first memory access request and a first credit threshold corresponding to the first memory access request. The arbiter circuit is further configured to determine a second destination device connected to the data path and associated with the second memory access request and a second credit threshold corresponding to the second memory access request. The arbiter circuit is configured to arbitrate access to the data path by the first memory access request and the second memory access request based on the first credit threshold and the second credit threshold.
