Abstract
An electronic device includes a transmission interface, a switch unit and a control unit. The transmission interface includes a signal reference contact and a signal transmission contact. The switch unit is coupled between the signal reference contact and a grounded layer. The control unit is coupled to the switch unit. When the control unit controls the switch unit to connect the signal reference contact and the grounded layer, the signal transmission contact is used to transmit a first signal. When the control unit controls the switch unit to disconnect the signal reference contact from the grounded layer, the signal reference contact is used to transmit a second signal.
