Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for operating a ferroelectric memory cell or cells are described. One method includes determining whether to access a first memory cell of a first memory cell array or a second memory cell of a second memory cell array, where a first digit line coupled to the first memory cell is coupled to a paging buffer register including a sense amplifier.

Abstract: A device with error correction is provided. The device includes a plurality of memory cells, and reference read write circuit, a plurality of sense amplifiers, and an error-correction code control block. The reference read write circuit is configured to generate a reference voltage in response to data stored in at least one of the plurality of memory cells.
