Abstract
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to sensing operations in memory. An example apparatus can include an array of memory cells; and a controller coupled to the array configured to sense a first memory cell based upon a first input associated with the memory cell and a second input and a third input associated with a second memory cell.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an array of memory cells including a number of memory cells coupled to an access line;
- a number of sense amps, wherein each of the number of memory cells is coupled to a corresponding sense amp of the number of sense amps;
- and
- a controller coupled to the array configured to:
- sense the number of memory cells by comparing inputs from the first number of memory cells to inputs from a first memory cell coupled to the corresponding sense amp for each of the number of memory cells.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- sensing a number of memory cells coupled to an access line based upon inputs from the number of memory cells and a first memory cell programmed with complementary signals, wherein each of the number of memory cells is coupled to a corresponding sense amp of a first number of sense amps and wherein the first memory cell is coupled to the corresponding sense amp for each of the first number of memory cells.
An apparatus, comprising:
- an array of memory cells including a first memory cell coupled to a first sense amp, a second memory cell coupled to a second sense amp, and a third memory cell coupled to a third sense amp;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- sense the first memory cell by inputting a first signal associated with the first memory cell to the first sense amp and a second signal and a third signal associated with a fourth memory cell to the first sense amp, wherein the second signal and the third signal are complementary signals corresponding to a first data state and a second data state.
