Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices related to sense amplifiers of a memory device serving as a static random access memory (sram) cache. for example, a memory array can be coupled to sense amplifiers. in a first mode, the sense amplifiers can be electrically disconnect from digit lines of the memory array. in the first mode, data and metadata of a cache line can be stored in the sense amplifiers when electrically disconnected from the number of digit lines. in the first mode, a portion of the data can be communicated, based on the metadata, from the sense amplifiers to the processing device. in a second mode, the sense amplifiers can connect to the memory array and sense data from the memory array.
