Devices and Methods to Store an Initialization State

According to one implementation of the present disclosure, a memory array to block read-access of uninitialized memory locations is disclosed. The memory array includes: a plurality of memory cells apportioned into a plurality of memory columns and a plurality of memory rows, where each of the memory cells is configured to store a single bit of memory data; and one or more initialization columns corresponding to at least one of the plurality of memory columns. The initialization state of a memory row of the memory cells may be configured to be stored in: the memory row; a latch of word-line driver circuitry coupled to the memory array; or a memory cell of the one or more initialization columns of a corresponding row of the plurality of memory rows of the memory array.
