Abstract
Electrically conductive line side-by-side running distance equalization and related apparatuses and systems. An apparatus includes a first sense amplifier, a second sense amplifier, a first pair of lines, and a second pair of lines. The first sense amplifier includes a first pull-up sense amplifier and a first pull-down sense amplifier. The first pair of lines electrically connects a first pull-up sense amplifier of the first sense amplifier to a first pull-down sense amplifier of the first sense amplifier. The second pair of lines electrically connects the second pull-up sense amplifier to the second pull-down sense amplifier. Parallel running distances between lines of the first pair of lines and the second pair of lines are equalized by a wiring twist of the first pair of lines and three wiring twists of the second pair of lines.
