Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for providing driving signals in semiconductor devices are described. An example apparatus includes a plurality of memory cell mats including a plurality of word lines and a word line driver coupled to the plurality of word lines of the plurality of memory cell mats. The word line driver is configured, responsive to a row active command, to provide a first voltage to a selected word line of the plurality of the word lines of a selected memory cell mat of the plurality of memory cell mats, provide a second voltage different from the first voltage to each of unselected word lines of the plurality of the word lines of the selected memory cell mats of the plurality of memory cell mats, and provide no voltage to each of the plurality of word lines of each of unselected memory cell mats of the plurality of memory cell mats.
