Abstract
Devices and methods facilitate memory device operation in all bit line architecture memory devices. In at least one embodiment, memory cells comprising alternating rows are concurrently programmed by row and concurrently sensed by row at a first density whereas memory cells comprising different alternating rows are concurrently programmed by row and concurrently sensed by row at a second density. In at least one additional embodiment, memory cells comprising alternating tiers of memory cells are programmed and sensed by tier at a first density and memory cells comprising different alternating tiers of memory cells are programmed and sensed by tier at a second density.
