Abstract
Memory array structures providing for determination of resistive characteristics of access lines might include a first block of memory cells, a second block of memory cells, a first current path between a particular access line of the first block of memory cells and a particular access line of the second block of memory cells, and, optionally, a second current path between the particular access line of the second block of memory cells and a different access line of the first block of memory cells. Methods for determining resistive characteristics of access lines might include connecting the particular access line of the first block of memory cells to a driver, and determining the resistive characteristics in response to a current level through that access line and a voltage level of that access line.
