Abstract
A method for controlling a data strobe signal having preamble and postamble sections in a double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM), wherein the preamble section is a low signal section of the data strobe signal one clock before data is issued and wherein the postamble section is a low signal section of the data strobe signal half clock before the data issue is complete in a data issue section, includes the steps of: controlling a high impedance status of the data strobe signal at sections, except for the data issue section, the preamble section and the postamble section, in response to a first control signal, wherein the high impedance status is related to a level between high and low signal levels; and controlling a point of time when the preamble section of the data strobe signal begins in response to a second control signal.
