Abstract:
Components of sense amplifiers may share contacts that couple the components to a global line via a local line. In some examples, the components may be pull-down circuits of a same sense amplifier or pull-down circuits of adjacent sense amplifiers. The shared contact may include a transistor or a resistance between the local line and the global line. In some examples, the global line may be an RNL line. The transistor or resistance may reduce the impact of voltage across the components from affecting the global line and/or reduce the impact of voltage changes on the global line on the individual components.
