Abstract
A method includes setting a contention scheme for an asynchronous bus such that the contention delay of isochronous transactions on the asynchronous bus is bounded. A first device is coupled to the asynchronous bus to receive an isochronous transaction from an isochronous device and output the isochronous transaction to the asynchronous bus. A second device is coupled to the asynchronous bus to receive the isochronous transaction from the asynchronous bus and output the isochronous transaction to a third device.
