Abstract

Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having first and second wordlines coupled with DRIVER circuitry. The first wordline has a first end distal from the DRIVER circuitry, and the second wordline has a second end distal from the DRIVER circuitry. A switch is adjacent to the first end and is configured to couple said first end to one or both of the second end and a LOW-VOLTAGE-REFERENCE-SOURCE (e.g., a VNWL supply) during a transition of the first wordline from an “ON” state to an “OFF” state.
