In a processing system, a glitch protection circuit receives a strobe signal and a data receiver captures a data signal in response to an output from the glitch protection circuit. Several embodiments are disclosed. In a first embodiment, a glitch protection circuit generates an output that represents a logical multiplication of a strobe signal with a delayed version of itself. In another embodiment, a pair of glitch protection circuits each sense a strobe transition and become dormant until its partner senses a strobe transition. The pair operates in a toggling fashion.
