Power reduction for a sensing operation of a memory cell

A device, comprising:

• a first memory cell;
• a second memory cell;
• a word line coupled with the first memory cell and second memory cell;
• and
• a controller coupled with the first memory cell and the second memory cell, wherein the controller is operable to cause the device to:
• activate the word line to select the first memory cell and the second memory cell;
• activate a sense component coupled with the first memory cell;
• determine a state stored by the first memory cell;
• and
• perform a write-back procedure on the first memory cell without performing the write-back procedure on the second memory cell.
