Abstract:
One or more control lines other than those used to activate a non-volatile memory cell may be used to sense a data value of the cell. For example, an apparatus may include a selection circuit that selects, based on an address corresponding to a non-volatile memory cell included an array of non-volatile memory cells, a word line coupled to the non-volatile memory cells to activate the non-volatile memory cell. An amplifier circuit may sense a data value stored in the non-volatile memory cell based on a sense signal having a voltage level based on voltage levels of one or more other word lines of the array of non-volatile memory cells. In another example, a data value of a non-volatile memory cell coupled to a word line may be sensed based on the voltage levels of one or more dummy sense lines within the array.

Claim (Index 16):
A system, comprising:\n a plurality of memory circuits, each of which includes an array of phase-change memory cells, word lines, and bit lines; and a memory controller circuit coupled to the plurality of memory circuits, wherein the controller circuit is configured, in response to receiving a request to access a phase change memory cell, to activate a selection circuit, the selection circuit configured to:\n select, in response to receiving an address from the memory controller circuit, a word line and a bit line to activate the phase-change memory cell; and \n determine a sense signal based on one or more other word lines adjacent to the word line; and \n an amplifier circuit configured to sense a data value in the phase-change memory cell based on the sense signal.
