1. A device comprising:
first circuitry having wordline drivers coupled to wordlines;
second circuitry having switch structures that are coupled between a first voltage and ground, wherein the switch structures include a first P-type transistor and a second P-type transistor, and wherein the switch structures are configured to provide a second voltage to a power connection of each wordline driver based on the first voltage; and
a transistor coupled between the wordlines, wherein the transistor passes wordline voltage signals between the wordlines when activated.
