Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for a sensing circuit in a vertical memory system are described. An apparatus may include a set of memory cells each coupled with a respective pillar of a set of pillars. A set of transistors, each of which is coupled with a digit line common to the set of memory cells, may be coupled with a respective pillar of the set of pillars. A first transistor of the set of transistors may include a first terminal coupled with a first bias line and a first pillar of the set of pillars, and may include a second terminal coupled with the digit line. A second transistor of the set of transistors may include a first terminal coupled with a second bias line and a second pillar of the set of pillars, and may include a gate terminal coupled with the digit line.
