Various embodiments are generally directed to a method and apparatus for carrying out a pipeline sensing operation. In some embodiments, a read voltage from a first memory cell is stored in a voltage storage element (VSE) and compared to a reference voltage to identify a corresponding memory state of the first memory cell while a second read voltage from a second memory cell is stored in a second VSE. In other embodiments, bias currents are simultaneously applied to a first set of memory cells from the array while read voltages generated thereby are stored in a corresponding first set of VSEs. The read voltages are sequentially compared with at least one reference value to serially output a logical sequence corresponding to the memory states of the first set of memory cells while read voltages are stored for a second set of memory cells in a second set of VSEs.
