Abstract
Memory devices are disclosed. A memory device may include a source (SRC) plate configured to couple to a number of memory cells. The memory device may also include a resistor coupled between the source plate and a node. Further, the memory device may include at least one transistor coupled between the source plate and the ground voltage, wherein a gate of the at least one transistor is coupled to the node. The transistor may be configured to couple the SRC plate to the ground voltage during a processing stage. The transistor may further be configured to isolate the SRC plate from the ground voltage during an operation stage. Methods and electronic systems are also disclosed.
