    Abstract: A device includes a first set of storage elements, a second set of storage elements, and a bias circuit configured to generate a test bias signal to bias the first set of storage elements and the second set of storage elements. The device further includes a sensor circuit configured to receive a first signal from at least a first storage element of the first set of storage elements in response to the test bias signal and to receive a second signal from at least a second storage element of the second set of storage elements in response to the test bias signal. The sensor circuit is further configured to generate a third signal having a delay characteristic indicating a wear difference between the first storage element and the second storage element.
