Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for digit line management for a memory array are described. A memory array may include a plate that is common to a plurality of memory cells. Each memory cell associated with the common plate may be coupled with a respective digit line. One or more memory cells common to the plate may be accessed by concurrently selecting the plate and each digit line associated with the plate. Concurrent selection of all digit lines associated with the plate may be supported by shield lines between the selected digit lines. Additionally or alternatively, selection of all digit lines associated with the plate may be supported by improved sensing schemes and related amplifier configurations.
