Abstract:
Apparatuses, memories, and methods for decoding memory addresses for selecting access lines in a memory are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an address decoder circuit coupled to first and second select lines, a polarity line, and an access line. The first select line is configured to provide a first voltage, the second select line is configured to provide a second voltage, and the polarity line is configured to provide a polarity signal. The address decoder circuit is configured to receive address information and further configured to couple the access line to the first select line responsive to the address information having a combination of logic levels and the polarity signal having a first logic level and further configured to couple the access line to the second select line responsive to the address information having the combination of logic levels and the polarity signal having a second logic level.
