Abstract
A resistor-capacitor (RC) sensor circuit includes an integration capacitor configured to integrate a representative copy of a current that drives an electronic circuit line. The integration capacitor is configured to integrate over a first time period to generate a first representative voltage and over a second time period to generate a second representative voltage. The RC sensor circuit includes a sampling circuit coupled to the integration capacitor and configured to sample the first representative voltage and the second representative voltage. A ratio of the first sampled voltage and the second sampled voltage is indicative of an RC time constant of the electronic circuit line.
