Abstract

A touch circuit chip includes a load adjustment unit and a comparator. The load adjustment unit adjusts a determined impedance value according to an impedance matching signal. The first comparator has a first end electrically coupled to a first load and from which to receive a sensing signal, a second end electrically coupled to a second load via the load adjustment unit and from which to receive a reference signal, and an output end. The comparator compares the received sensing signal with the received reference signal and accordingly output a comparison result. The touch circuit chip determines whether there exists a change of a capacitance value of a coupling capacitor between the first and second loads according to the comparison result, wherein the determined impedance value is matched to the impedance value of the coupling capacitor and the first load. A touch apparatus is also provided.
