Round robin assertion

In reply to Jad:
For 2 signals, it is easy. However, if you have a large vector, you’ll need to add some supporting logic to keep track as to who next can get the grant if the req is asserted.


module roundrobbin;
  bit clk;
  bit[1:0] req, grnt; 
  bit[3:0] r, g, grants; 
  
  ap_grnt1_after2: assert property(@(posedge clk) 
  		req[1] && !grnt[1] && $fell(grnt[0])  |=> grnt[1]);  	
  ap_grnt1_no2: assert property(@(posedge clk) 
  		req[1] && $countones(grnt)==0  |=> grnt[1]); 
   
	
endmodule
