A strobe signal from the memory device is not forwarded by a controller until after a predetermined time interval following the sending of a read command by the controller to the memory device. A first bit value is captured, according to the forwarded strobe signal, in a data signal also from the memory device. The predetermined time interval is at least as long as a roundtrip flight time interval of a reference pulse that is transmitted from the controller to the memory device and back to the controller. | |
