Apparatuses are presented for a semiconductor device utilizing dual I/O line pairs. The apparatus includes a first I/O line pair coupled to a first local I/O line pair. A second I/O line pair may be provided coupled to a second local I/O line pair. The apparatus may further include a first bit line including at least a first memory cell and a second memory cell, and a second bit line including at least a third memory cell and a fourth memory cell may be provided. The first local I/O line pair may be coupled to at least one of the first and second bit lines, and the second local I/O line pair is coupled to at least one of the first and second bit lines.
