Abstract
Systems and methods for masking strobe signals in strobe-based systems are provided below. These strobe-masking systems receive a strobe signal from a component operating under one clock domain and in turn generate a masked version of the strobe signal. Components of a host system use the masked strobe signal to receive or transfer data from the clock domain of the strobe signal through a mesochronous clock domain crossing into a different clock domain.
