    Abstract: Memory devices, memory systems, and systems, include memory devices with a bonding pad region including two or more bonding pads for operably coupling to external signals and two or more command-and-address (CA) input signals. The memory device also includes a memory cell region for storing information in a plurality of memory cells. A centralized CA interface region including two or more CA input circuits operably coupled to the two or more CA input signals. The centralized CA interface region is positioned between the bonding pad region and the memory cell region in a layout arrangement with the two or more CA input circuits neighboring each other in a compact region such that clock routing to the two or more CA input circuits is substantially reduced.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus that includes: first and second wiring patterns extending in a first direction, first and second transistors arranged adjacent to each other, and third to sixth wiring patterns extending in a second direction. The third wiring pattern is connected between the first wiring pattern and one of source/drain regions of the first transistor, the fourth wiring pattern is connected between the second wiring pattern and other of source/drain regions of the first transistor, the fifth wiring pattern is connected to one of source/drain regions of the second transistor, the fifth wiring pattern overlapping with the first wiring pattern, the sixth wiring pattern is connected to other of source/drain regions of the second transistor, the sixth wiring pattern overlapping with the second wiring pattern. The third and fourth wiring patterns are greater in width in the first direction than the fifth and sixth wiring patterns.
