Methods, apparatus, and systems in accordance with this invention include
memories that include a data array and a configuration array adapted to
store configuration information for configuring the data array. The data
array and the configuration array include a plurality of wordlines and a
plurality of bitlines. The plurality of wordlines in the data array
extend in the same direction as the plurality of wordlines in the
configuration array. Likewise, the plurality of bitlines in the data
array extend in the same direction as the plurality of bitlines in the
configuration array. The configuration array may include a wordline
driver layout, a bitline driver layout, relative positions of zia contact
regions, a diode sensing orientation, a sense amplifier layout, a voltage
regulator layout, and a layout of conductors proximate to the array that
are each substantially similar to corresponding elements of the data
array. Numerous other aspects are disclosed.
