This document describes apparatuses and techniques for termination for single-ended (SE) mode operation of a memory device. In various aspects, a termination circuit can terminate an unused signal line of a differential pair to a ground or power rail using a switch element when operating in the SE mode. The termination circuit may also disconnect the unused signal line from a first input of a differential amplifier and connect a reference voltage to the first input of the differential amplifier. Based on the reference voltage, the differential amplifier amplifies an SE signal received using another signal line of the differential pair at a second input of the differential amplifier to provide a clock signal for memory operations. Thus, the termination circuit may reduce an amount by which noise associated with the unused signal line affects the differential amplifier when the memory device operates in SE mode.

A method includes providing, by a signal source circuit of a sensing circuit, a signal to a sensor via a conductor. When the sensor is exposed to a condition and is receiving the signal, an electrical characteristic of the sensor affects the signal. The signal includes at least one of: a direct current (DC) component and an oscillating component. When the sensing circuit is in a noisy environment, transient noise couples with the signal to produce a noisy signal. The method further includes comparing, by a transient circuit of the sensing circuit, the noisy signal with a representation of the noisy signal. When the noisy signal compares unfavorably with the representation of the noisy signal, supplying, by the transient circuit, a compensation signal to the conductor. A level of the compensation signal corresponds to a level at which the noisy signal compares unfavorably with the representation of the noisy signal.
