Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for cell voltage accumulation discharge are described. One or more sections of a bank of ferroelectric memory cells may be coupled with one or more access lines. By activating one or more switching components, one or more sections (that may include a memory array and/or a driver) of memory cells may be isolated. When isolated, a voltage may be applied across an access line associated with the section to activate an access device of each memory cell. By activating a switching component of a respective memory cell, a capacitor of the memory cell may be discharged and then the isolated section may be coupled with the plurality of access lines.
