Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for implementing access line loads for sense amplifiers for open access line sensing. An example apparatus may include a memory array comprising a plurality of sense amplifiers. A first sense amplifier is coupled to a first access line segment and to a second access line segment and a second sense amplifier is coupled to a third access line segment and to a load segment. The first, second, and third access line segments are coupled to a respective plurality of memory cells. The load segment comprise load circuitry configured to provide a capacitive load to the second sense amplifier based on a capacitive load of the third access line segment.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus comprising:\n a memory array comprising a plurality of sense amplifiers configured for open bit line sensing, wherein a sense amplifier of the plurality of sense amplifiers is coupled between a respective one of a load segment of a plurality of load segments and a respective access line segment of a plurality of access line segments, wherein the access line segment is coupled to a respective plurality of memory cells, wherein the sense amplifier is configured to use the load segment as a reference to sense data of a memory cell of the plurality of memory cells during a memory access operation, wherein the load segment includes load circuitry configured with a capacitive load that is based on a capacitive load of the access line segment, wherein the capacitive load of the load segment is tunable, wherein the capacitive circuitry is tuned based on high and low read thresholds sensed by the sense amplifier.
