Abstract
A microelectronic device comprises first digit lines, second digit lines, and multiplexer devices. The first digit lines are coupled to strings of memory cells. The second digit lines are coupled to additional strings of memory cells. The second digit lines are offset from the first digit lines in a first horizontal direction and are substantially aligned with the first digit lines in a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction. The multiplexer devices are horizontally interposed between the first digit lines and the second digit lines in the first horizontal direction. The multiplexer devices are in electrical communication with the first digit lines, the second digit lines, and page buffer devices. Additional microelectronic devices, memory devices, and electronic systems are also described.
