Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for operating a ferroelectric memory cell or cells are described. A memory device may leverage non-volatile memory properties of a ferroelectric capacitor—e.g., that a ferroelectric capacitor may remain polarized at one of two states without a voltage applied across the ferroelectric capacitor—to activate a subset of sensing components corresponding to multiple memory cells with a common word line. For example, a first and second set of memory cells with a common word like may be selected for a read operation. A first set of sensing components corresponding to the first set of memory cells may be activated for the read operation, and a second set of sensing components that correspond to the second set of memory cells may be maintained in a deactivated state.
