Abstract

Memory devices have an array of elements in two or more dimensions. The memory devices use multiple access lines arranged in a grid to access the memory devices. Memory cells are located at intersections of the access lines in the grid. Drivers are used for each access line and configured to transmit a corresponding signal to respective memory cells of the plurality of memory cells via a corresponding access line. The memory devices also include compensation circuitry configured to determine which driving access lines driving a target memory cell of the plurality of memory cells has the most distance between the target memory cell and a respective driver. The plurality of access lines comprise the driving access lines. The compensation circuitry also is configured to output compensation values to adjust the voltages of the driving access lines based on a polarity of the voltage of the longer driving access line.
