Abstract

Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include dummy wordline circuitry having a dummy wordline driver coupled to a dummy wordline load via a dummy wordline. The integrated circuit may include underdrive circuitry coupled to the dummy wordline between the dummy wordline driver and the dummy wordline load. The underdrive circuitry may generate an underdrive on the dummy wordline when the dummy wordline is selected and driven by the dummy wordline driver.
