Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for reducing row address (RAS) to column address (CAS) delay are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a memory including a memory cell coupled to a first digit line in response to a wordline being set to an active state, and a sense amplifier configured to, during a sense operation, couple a first gut node to the first digit line and couple a second gut node to a second digit line in response to an isolation signal. The sense amplifier is further configured to, after the first gut node is coupled to the first digit line and the second gut node is coupled to the second digit hue, drive the first digit line to a first sense voltage of a first control signal and drive the second digit line to a second sense voltage of a second control signal based on a data state of the memory cell.

Claim (Index 17):
A method, comprising:\n receiving an activate command at a memory; in response to the activate command, decoupling first and second gut nodes of a sense amplifier from first and second digit lines; equalizing the first and second gut nodes of the sense amplifier to a precharge voltage; coupling the first gut node of the sense amplifier to the first digit line and the second gut node to the second digit line after equalizing the first and second gut nodes; and after coupling the first gut node of the sense amplifier to the first digit line and the second gut node to the second digit line, activating the sense amplifier to sense a data state of a memory cell coupled to the first digit line or the second digit line, wherein activating the sense amplifier to sense the data state of the memory cell coupled to the first digit line or the second digit line comprises:\n providing a row Nsense latch (RNL) signal to a first pair of transistors of the sense amplifier; and \n providing a row Psense latch (ACT) signal to a second pair of transistors of the sense amplifier.
