Abstract
A strobe calibration component for a memory control device includes a tri-state detection receiver, an edge detection component, and an extension gate generation component. The tri-state detection receiver is configured to identify states of an input signal. One of the states includes a high impedance state. The edge detection component is configured to identify valid edges from a sequence of states provided from the tri-state detection receiver. The extension gate generation component is configured to generate a calibrated gate signal according to the valid edges from the edge detection component.
