Apparatuses and methods for controlling access to memory cell matrices are described. An example apparatus includes: a plurality of memory cell matrices including memory cells, a plurality of sections wherein each section is included in a memory cell matrix of the plurality of memory cell matrices; a section predecoder that activates one section signal among a plurality of corresponding section signals responsive to a portion of row address signals; a section selection control circuit that provides a set of first section sub signals including an active first section sub signal and a set of second section sub signals including an active second section sub signal based on the plurality of section signals; and a plurality of section selection circuits corresponding to the plurality of sections.
