1. An apparatus, comprising:
a first sense amplifier comprising:
a first pull-up sense amplifier; and
a first pull-down sense amplifier;
a first pair of lines comprising electrically conductive material, the first pair of lines electrically connecting the first pull-up sense amplifier to the first pull-down sense amplifier;
a second sense amplifier adjacent to the first sense amplifier, the second sense amplifier comprising:
a second pull-up sense amplifier; and
a second pull-down sense amplifier; and
a second pair of lines comprising electrically conductive material, the second pair of lines electrically connecting the second pull-up sense amplifier to the second pull-down sense amplifier, parallel running distances between lines of the first pair of lines and the second pair of lines equalized by a wiring twist of the first pair of lines and three wiring twists of the second pair of lines.
