    Abstract: Devices and methods for sensing a memory cell are described. The memory cell may include a ferroelectric memory cell. During a read operation, a first switching component may selectively couple a sense component with the memory cell based on a logic state stored on the memory cell to transfer a charge between the memory cell and the sense component. A second switching component, which may be coupled with the first switching component, may down convert a voltage associated with the charge to another voltage that is within an operation voltage of the sense component. The sense component may operate at a lower voltage than a voltage at which the memory cell operates to reduce power consumption in some cases.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for temperature-based access timing for a memory device are described. In some memory devices, accessing memory cells may be associated with different operations that are variously dependent on a temperature of the memory device. For example, some operations associated with accessing a memory cell may have a longer duration and others a shorter duration depending on the temperature of the memory device. In accordance with examples as disclosed herein, a memory device may be configured for performing some portions of an access operation according to a duration that is proportional to a temperature of the memory device, and performing other portions of the access operation according to a duration that is inversely proportional to a temperature of the memory device.
