ABSTRACT:
Some embodiments of the invention include a memory device having a number of data terminals for transferring data signals and a number of strobe terminals for transferring strobe signals representing timing information of the data. The strobe terminals have a fixed signal level in an inactive mode of the memory device. The memory further includes a controller for reducing signal instability of the strobe signals when the memory device switches from the inactive mode to a data transfer mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
