A microelectronic device comprises a microelectronic device structure comprising a section comprising page buffers, and an additional section horizontally neighboring the section and comprising page buffer drivers and a timing delay chain coupled to the page buffer drivers. Each of the page buffer drivers is coupled to a different group of the page buffers than each other of the page buffer drivers. The timing delay chain comprises timing delay circuits coupled in series with one another. Each of the timing delay circuits is configured to adjustably delay propagation of a control signal therethrough. Memory devices, methods of operating memory devices, and electronic systems are also described.
A method of operating a memory device, comprising delaying propagation of a control signal to different page buffer drivers coupled to different groups of page buffers operatively associated with at least one plane of memory cells to stagger control of the different groups of page buffers in time, delaying propagation of the control signal including adjustably delaying propagation of the control signal through a series of timing delay stages coupled to the different page buffer drivers, each of the timing delay stages coupled in series with one another and individually configured to adjustably delay propagation of the control signal to a respective one of the different page buffer drivers.
