7. A simple weighted arbiter unit is shown below with two Request lines (Req0, Req1) and corresponding two Grant lines (Gnt0, Gnt1).
The functional specification of the arbiter is as follows:
i. In any clock cycle, a valid request may be present on either or both Request lines.
ii. In any clock cycle, if there is a valid request on one or both Request lines, one (and only one) of the Grant lines will be asserted in response, in the same cycle. No grant slot will be left idle if a valid request is present.
iii. If both request lines are active. Req0 will have the higher priority for grant, except due to the fairness constraints below.
Fairness constraint 1: Gnt0 cannot be asserted for more than three cycles consecutively.
Fairness constraint 2: Gnt1 cannot be asserted for more than one cycle consecutively.
Test APIs are provided as below:
CreateRequests(Req0_val, Req1_val); At the next clock cycle, present the value Req0_val on Reqo line and Req1_val on Req1 line. (Req0_val, Req1_val could each be CheckGrants(Gnt0_val, Gnt1_val): At the current clock cycle, check the Grant lines for expected values Gnt0_val, Gnit1_val. If there is a mismatch with the expected error. (Gnt0_val. Gnt1_val could each be 0 or 1).
You are writing a test to check the fairness constraints. Fill in the expected arguments in the blanks based on the test that is being created to vently this design.
Note: While filling in the arguments, ensure that there are no white spaces between the arguments. For example-enter ab instead of "a,b" instead of " a , b "
reset and init():
CreateRequests(1,1);
CheckGrants (______________);
CreateRequests(0,1);
CheckGrants (______________);
CreateRequests(1,1);

9. Line coverage is one of the metrics used to measure of the effectiveness of verification of an RTL design. It is a measure of what percentage of lines in the RTL code have been exercised by a verification test suite.
With reference to the chunk of code below, answer the following questions on line coverage.
if (parity== ODD || parity EVEN) begin
parity_bit <= compute_parity (data, parity);
tx <= {data, parity_bit, -parity_bit); end else begin
tx <= {data,2'b0};
end
if (revd_all) begin
start sending-1'b1;
end
Note: An input/stimulus vector is defined as one combination of the inputs: parity, data, rcvd_all. Parity could be {ODD, EVEN, NULL}, data is 16-bit wide, rcvd_all is 1-bit wide
Note: Lines with just key words (like else, begin or end) do not count towards coverable or covered lines.
The maximum line coverage (in percentage) achievable with a single stimulus vector is =___________.
The minimum line coverage (in percentage) achievable with a single stimulus vector is =_____________.
Note: Round off your answer to the nearest integer. For example: if the answer is 3.5, enter 4. if the answer is 3.49, enter 3
The minimal stimulus set that is needed to achieve 100% line coverage should contain the values as:
parity[1:0] =__________
rcvd_all 1
&&
parity[1:0] =___________
rcvd_all = 0/1
