NAND memory devices utilize sensing devices for sensing a programmed state of a nonvolatile memory cell or writing a data value to a nonvolatile memory cell. Latches in sensing devices are selectively coupled to a variable-potential node to receive a first potential to switch the latch, i.e., presetting, setting or resetting the latch. After switching, the variable-potential node may be set to an intermediate potential to increase noise immunity to the latch while holding the data value. In NAND sensing devices having a data latch and a cache latch, the variable-potential nodes of the data latch and the variable-potential nodes of the cache latch are coupled to separate ground control circuits. By independently varying the potentials applied to the variable-potential nodes of the data latch and cache latch, determined by whether the individual latch is switching or holding data, noise immunity in the data path is increased.
