Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for reducing rots address (RAS) to column address (CAS) delay are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a memory including a sense amplifier configured to, during a precharge phase, couple a first gut node of the sense amplifier to a second gut node of the sense amplifier and to a precharge voltage while the first gut node and the second gut node are coupled to a first digit line and a second digit line, respectively, at a first time. The sense amplifier is further configured to, during the precharge phase, decouple the first gut node from the first digit line and decouple the second gut node from the second digit line at a second time that is after the first time. The sense amplifier is further configured to transition to an activation phase in response to an activate command at a third time after the second time to perform a sense operation.

Claim (Index 17):
A method, comprising:\n transitioning to a precharge phase in response to receipt of a precharge command at a memory; during the precharge phase:\n precharging first and second gut nodes of a sense amplifier of the memory to a precharge voltage starting at a first time; and \n decoupling the first gut node from a first digit line and decoupling the second gut node from a second digit line starting at a second time after the first time; \n transitioning from the precharge phase to an activation phase in response to receipt of an activate command after the second time; and during the activation phase:\n performing a threshold voltage compensation operation to bias the first and second digit lines based on a threshold voltage difference between at least two circuit components of the sense amplifier; and \n sensing a data state of a memory cell of the memory that is coupled to one of the first or second digit lines after performing the threshold voltage compensation operation.
