Original Abstract Submitted
Memory with single transistor sub-word line drivers, and associated systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a plurality of first sub-word line drivers and a plurality of second sub-word line drivers. Each sub-word line driver of the plurality of first sub-word line drivers is coupled to (a) a first global word line and (b) a corresponding one of a plurality of first local word lines. Each sub-word line driver of the plurality of second sub-word line drivers is coupled to (a) a second global word line different from the first global word line and (b) a corresponding one of a plurality of second local word lines. In addition, individual ones of the plurality of first local word lines are interleaved with individual ones of the plurality of second local word lines.
