    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for reducing capacitive loading are described. An example apparatus may include a plurality of memory subblocks of a memory block. A. plurality of word lines may be associated with the plurality of subblocks. The word lines may be further associated with multiple strings within the subblocks. A subset of the word lines may be dummy word lines. The cells of the dummy word lines may be programmed to a plurality of states. The states may be configured to deactivate and/or float unselected strings in the subblocks during certain memory operations.

    Abstract: Memory devices, methods for programming sense flags, methods for sensing flags, and memory systems are disclosed. In one such memory device, the odd bit lines of a flag memory cell array are connected with a short circuit to a dynamic data cache. The even bit lines of the flag memory cell array are disconnected from the dynamic data cache. When an even page of a main memory cell array is read, the odd flag memory cells, comprising flag data, are read at the same time so that it can be determined whether the odd page of the main memory cell array has been programmed. If the flag data indicates that the odd page has not been programmed, threshold voltage windows can be adjusted to determine the states of the sensed even memory cell page.

    Abstract: Memory devices and methods of operating memory devices are shown. Configurations described include circuits to perform a single check between programming pulses to determine a threshold voltage with respect to desired benchmark voltages. In one example, the benchmark voltages are used to change a programming speed of selected memory cells.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, such as a method that includes precharging channel material of a string of memory cells in an unselected sub-block of a block of memory cells to a precharge voltage during a first portion of a programming operation. A programming voltage can then be applied to a selected memory cell in a selected sub-block of the block of memory cells during a second portion of the programming operation. The selected memory cell is coupled to a same access line as an unselected memory cell in the unselected sub-block. Additional methods and apparatus are disclosed.
