Access line management for an array of memory cells

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for access line management for an array of memory cells are described. Some memory devices may include a plate that is coupled with memory cells associated with a plurality of digit lines and/or a plurality of word lines. Because the plate is coupled with a plurality of digit lines and/or word lines, unintended cross-coupling between various components of the memory device may be significant. To mitigate the impact of unintended cross-coupling between various components, the memory device may float unselected word lines during one or more portions of an access operation. Accordingly, a voltage of each unselected word line may relate to the voltage of the plate as changes in plate voltage may occur.
