Dynamic detection of a strobe signal within an integrated circuit

A system for processing a strobe signal comprising:

• a plurality of sampling flip-flops oversampling the strobe signal, wherein each of the plurality of sampling flip-flops is clocked by a clock signal having a different phase and approximately a same frequency as a frequency of the strobe signal;
• a controller configured to detect a read request sent to a source synchronous device and determine an amount of time between the read request and a first pulse of the strobe signal according to values received from the plurality of sampling flip-flops oversampling the strobe signal;
• and
• a squelch circuit configured to gate the strobe signal for the amount of time responsive to a subsequent read request.

A system comprising:

• a memory controller;
• and
• a strobe detector coupled to the memory controller,
• wherein the strobe detector is configured to determine an amount of time between sending a read request originating from the memory controller to a source synchronous device and detecting a first pulse of a strobe signal received from the source synchronous device, wherein the strobe detector is configured to gate the strobe signal responsive to at least one subsequent read request from the memory controller for the amount of time.
