Abstract:
A bus arbitration method within a control chipset, The control chipset further comprises a first control chip and a second control chip, data are transferred between the first and the second control chips through a bus, the bus comprises a bidirectional bus The first control chip usually control the authority to use the bus, however the second control chip has higher priority to use the bus. Accompany with a bus specification without waiting cycle, to arbitrate the authority to use the bus can be done fast and without errors. Therefore, no GNT signal line is required and the arbitration time reduces.
