Abstract
Disclosed herein are devices, methods, and systems for reading a programmed state of a memory element. The method includes setting a bit line to which the memory element is connected to a first voltage and developing to the bit line a compensation voltage different from the first voltage. The method also includes developing a modified sensing voltage to the bit line defined by the compensation voltage and a sensing voltage developed from the memory element and determining the programmed state based on the modified sensing voltage. A complementary memory element may be used to develop the compensation voltage by discharging a complementary plate line, to which the second memory element is connected, to charge a complementary bit line to which the second memory element is connected and by connecting the bit line to the complementary bit line to develop the compensation voltage to the bit line.
