A method and apparatus for detecting and in some cases recovering from errors in a source synchronous bus. One embodiment of a disclosed apparatus includes a plurality of strobe inputs to receive a plurality of strobe signals. A plurality of data inputs receive a plurality of data signals transmitted in a source synchronous manner in conjunction with the strobe signals. Bus control logic produces an externally visible indication that an error has occurred if a glitch on one or more of the plurality of strobe signals is detected.
