  • Data shifting
    Patent number: 10043556
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to data shifting. An example apparatus comprises a first memory cell coupled to a first sense line of an array, a first isolation device located between the first memory cell and first sensing circuitry corresponding thereto, and a second isolation device located between the first memory cell and second sensing circuitry corresponding to a second sense line. The first and the second isolation devices are operated to shift data in the array without transferring the data via an input/output line of the array.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 7, 2018
    Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Timothy B. Cowles, Steven M. Bodily
