A system and a memory device including a driver circuit, to perform first operations including driving a resistor-capacitor (RC) sensor circuit of an electronic device to a drive voltage using a representative copy of a current that drives an electronic circuit line of the electronic device. The system and memory device including the RC sensor circuit, coupled to the driver circuit, to perform second operations including determining a first sample voltage by sampling a first representative voltage generated at the RC sensor circuit, and determining a second sample voltage by sampling a second representative voltage generated at the RC sensor circuit. The ratio of the first sample voltage and the second sample voltage is indicative of an RC time constant of the electronic circuit line.
