    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for variable filter capacitance are described. Within a memory device, voltages may be applied to access lines associated with two voltage sources to increase the capacitance provided by the access lines between the two voltage sources. In some cases, the access lines may be in electronic communication with capacitive cells that include a capacitive element and a selection component, and the voltage sources and access lines may be configured to utilize the capacitive elements and the capacitance between the access lines to generate an increase capacitance between the voltage sources. In some cases, decoders may be used to implement certain configurations that generate different capacitance levels. Similarly, sub-decoders may generate different capacitance levels by selecting portions of a capacitive array.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices are described for operating a memory array. A first voltage may be applied to a memory cell to activate a selection component of the memory cell prior to applying a second voltage to the memory cell. The second voltage may be applied to facilitate a sensing operation once the selection component is activated. The first voltage may be applied during a first portion of an access operation and may be used in determining a threshold voltage of the selection component. The subsequently applied second voltage may be applied during a second portion of the access operation and may have a magnitude associated with a preferred voltage for accessing a ferroelectric capacitor of the memory cell. In some cases, the second voltage has a greater rate of increase over time (e.g., a greater “ramp”) than the first voltage.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for full bias sensing in a memory array are described. Various embodiments of an access operation of a cell in a array may be timed to allow residual charge of a middle electrode between the cell and a selection component to discharge. Access operations may also be timed to allow residual charge of middle electrodes associated with other cells to be discharged. In conjunction with an access operation for a target cell, a residual charge of a middle electrode of another cell may be discharged, and the target cell may then be accessed. A capacitor in electronic communication with a cell may be charged and a logic state of the cell determined based on the charge of the capacitor. The timing for charging the capacitor may be related to the time for discharging a middle electrode of the cell or another cell.

    摘要: Sense circuits, memory devices, and related methods are disclosed. A sense circuit includes sample and hold circuitry configured to sample and hold a second response voltage potential, a first response voltage potential, and a third response voltage potential responsive to an evaluation signal applied to a resistance variable memory cell. The sense circuit includes an amplifier operably coupled to the sample and hold circuitry. The amplifier is configured to amplify a difference between a sum of the first response voltage potential and the third response voltage potential, and twice the second response voltage potential. A memory device includes an evaluation signal generating circuit configured to provide the evaluation signal, an array of resistance variable memory cells, and the sense circuit. A method includes applying the evaluation signal to the resistance variable memory cell, sampling and holding the response voltage potentials, and discharging the sample and hold circuitry to the amplifier.
