System for protecting strobe glitches by separating a strobe signal into pointer path and timing path, filtering glitches from signals on pointer path thereof

摘要

A method and apparatus for a strobe glitch protection mechanism for a source synchronous I/O link. One method of the present invention comprises separating a transfer clock having a plurality of transfer clock edges into a pointer path and a timing path. Glitches are filtered from signals on said pointer path. The pointer path and the timing path are coupled to generate latch enable signals to latch data bits.
