Abstract: An audio receiver includes a first signal port, a second signal port, a power supply port, a power ground port, and an amplifier circuit. The first signal port is coupled to an audio signal line of a transmission interface. The second signal port is coupled to an audio ground line of the transmission interface. The power supply port is coupled to a power supply line of the transmission interface to generate a power supply level to the power supply line. The power ground port is connected to the ground level and to a power ground line of the transmission interface. When the audio receiver is outputting a power supply current to the audio source device through the power supply port via the power supply line, a connection state between the second signal port and the power ground port is at a high impedance state.

Abstract: A method for electrostatic discharge protection in a receiver and associated receiver are provided. The receiver includes a reference voltage terminal, a detection terminal, at least one set of receiving terminals and at least one set of termination resistors. The method includes: according to a voltage level of the detection terminal, generating a detection result; and according to the detection result, controlling whether to configure said at least one set of termination resistors to be respectively coupled between said at least one set of receiving terminals and the reference voltage terminal.
