1. A method for sensing current in a two-terminal memory, comprising:

  • providing an array including a plurality of first conductive traces and a plurality of second conductive traces;

    receiving an address operative to select one of the plurality of first conductive traces and one of the plurality of second conductive traces;

    applying a select voltage across the selected first and second conductive traces;

    applying a non-select voltage potential to unselected first and second conductive traces;

    sensing a total current flowing through the selected first conductive trace; and

    sensing a leakage current flowing through unselected second conductive traces.
