Abstract
Electrically conductive line side-by-side running distance equalization and related apparatuses and systems. An apparatus includes a first sense amplifier including a first pull-up sense amplifier, a first pull-down sense amplifier, and a first pair of lines connecting the first pull-up sense amplifier to the first pull-down sense amplifier. The apparatus also includes a second sense amplifier adjacent to the first sense amplifier. The second sense amplifier includes a second pull-up sense amplifier, a second pull-down sense amplifier, and a second pair of lines connecting the second pull-up sense amplifier to the second pull-down sense amplifier. Parallel running distances between lines of the first pair of lines and the second pair of lines are equalized by a wiring twist of at least one of the first pair of lines or the second pair of lines in a region of the first pull-up sense amplifier and the second pull-up sense amplifier.
