74F7864-bit asynchronous bus arbiter
FEA TURES
•Arbitrates between 4 asynchronous inputs
•Separate grant output for each input
•Common output enable
•On board 4 input AND gate
•Metastable–free outputs
•Industrial temperature range available (–40°C to +85°C)
The 74F786 is designed so that contention between two or more
request signals will not glitch or display a metastable condition. In
this situation an increase in the BR
n to BGn t
may be observed.
PHL
A typical 74F786 has an h = 6.6ns, t = 0.41ns and To = 5µsec.
Where:
h = Typical propagation delay through the device and t and To are
device parameters derived from test results and can most nearly be
defined as:
t = A function of the rate at which a latch in a metastable state
resolves that condition.
DESCRIPTION
The 74F786 is an asynchronous 4–bit arbiter designed for high
speed real–time applications. The priority of arbitration is determined
on a first–come first–served basis. Separate bus grant (BGn)
outputs are available to indicate which one of the request inputs is
served by the arbitration logic. All BG
common enable (EN
) pin. In order to generate a bus request signal
a separate 4 input AND gate is provided which may also be used as
an independent AND gate. Unused bus request (BR
disabled by tying them high.
n outputs are enabled by a
) inputs may be
To = A function of the measurement of the propensity of a latch to
enter a metastable state. To is also a very strong function of the
normal propagation delay of the device.

74F7864-bit asynchronous bus arbiter
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PIN CONFIGURATION
The BRn inputs have no inherent priority. The arbiter assigns priority
to the incoming requests as they are received, therefore, the first BR
asserted will have the highest priority. When a bus request is
received its corresponding bus grant becomes active, provided that
EN
is low. If additional bus requests are made during this time they
are queued. When the first request is removed, the arbiter services
the bus request with the next highest priority. Removing a request
while a previous request is being serviced can cause a grant to be
changed when arbitrating between three or four requests. For that
reason, the user should not remove ungranted requests when
arbitrating between three or four requests. This does not apply to
arbitration between two requests.
If two or more BR
one of them will be selected at random, and all BG
n inputs are asserted at precisely the same time,
n outputs will be

held in the high state until the selection is made. This guarantees
that an erroneous BG
n will not be generated even though a
metastable condition may occur internal to the device. When the EN
is in the high state the BGn outputs are forced high.
