Abstract

Some embodiments include an integrated memory having a first bitline coupled with a first set of memory cells, and having a second bitline coupled with a second set of memory cells. The first and second bitlines are comparatively coupled through a sense amplifier. A first noise suppression line is adjacent to a region of the first bitline and extends parallel to the region of the first bitline. The first noise suppression line is electrically connected with one of the first and second bitlines and not with the other of the first and second bitlines. A second noise suppression line is adjacent to a region of the second bitline and extends parallel to the region of the second bitline. The second noise suppression line is electrically connected with the other of the first and second bitlines.
