Abstract

A signal receiving device and an electronic apparatus using the same are provided. The signal receiving device includes a signal conversion unit, a signal analysis unit, and an impedance unit. The signal conversion unit receives an analog input signal and converts the analog input signal into a digital input signal. The signal analysis unit receives the digital input signal and analyzes a signal characteristic thereof to generate an impedance adjustment signal. The impedance unit coupled to the signal analysis unit and a signal input terminal of the signal receiving device receives the impedance adjustment signal to dynamically adjust an input impedance of the signal input terminal. Thereby, the signal receiving device analyzes an input signal to dynamically adjust the input impedance of the signal receiving device, so as to maintain an amplitude gain of the input signal to be within a limited input range of the signal receiving device.
