Abstract

A buffer and control circuit for a synchronous memory controller includes first and second differential comparators and control logic. The first differential comparator is provided with positive and negative differential input signals and the second differential comparator is provided with offset positive and negative differential input signals. The first and second differential comparators generate output signals based on magnitudes of the positive and negative differential input signals and the offset positive and negative differential input signals. The control logic generates a reference strobe signal based on the output signals.
