Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for techniques and devices to reduce bus cross talk are described. Adjacent conductive lines in a bus of a memory system may be electrically coupled if both conductive lines are concurrently driven to a high-state. For example, the bus may include a logic circuit coupled between the adjacent conductive lines, which may selectively couple the conductive lines based on the voltage applied to each conductive line. In some examples, the logic circuit may include an input coupled to the control signals of the drivers associated with the adjacent conductive lines. If both control signals are concurrently high, the logic circuit may activate a transistor to couple the conductive lines. Such electrical coupling may reduce or eliminate the capacitive coupling between the two conductive lines when both are driven to a high state, which may result in increased reliability of signals in the conductive lines.
