Question:

Consider the daisy-chain arrangement shown in Figure P4.1, in which the bus-request signal is fed back directly as the bus grant. Assume that device 3 requests the bus andimage text in transcribed

begins using it. When device 3 is finished, it deactivates BR3. Assume that the delay from BGi to BG(i + 1) in any device is

d. Show that a spurious bus grant pulse will travel downstream from device 3 (spurious because it is not a response to any request). Estimate the width of this pulse.
