- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of a Bus Arbiter?
**A**: A Bus Arbiter manages access to a shared bus by multiple devices or processors, preventing conflicts and ensuring orderly data transfer through arbitration logic.

### Q: What materials are used in manufacturing Bus Arbiters?
**A**: Bus Arbiters are typically manufactured using semiconductor silicon for the chip, copper interconnects for electrical pathways, and dielectric materials for insulation between layers.

### Q: How does the arbitration process work in a Bus Arbiter?
**A**: The Bus Arbiter uses a Request Queue to receive access requests, an Arbitration Logic Unit to determine priority based on predefined algorithms, and a Grant Signal Generator to authorize the winning device.
