Abstract
The present invention is a method and apparatus to generate first and second strobe signals to receive data on an interface port of a processor operating in first and second modes at first and second voltage levels, respectively. The second voltage level is higher than the first voltage level. A selector provides first and second selected signals from a plurality of signals which corresponds to the first and second modes. The selector operates at the second voltage level. A signal generator is coupled to the selector to generate the first and second strobe signals from the first and second selected signals.
