Abstract:
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to parity determinations using sensing circuitry. An example method can include protecting, using sensing circuitry, a number of data values stored in a respective number of memory cells coupled to a sense line of an array by determining a parity value corresponding to the number of data values without transferring data from the array via an input/output line. The parity value can be determined by a number of XOR operations, for instance. The method can include storing the parity value in another memory cell coupled to the sense line.
