ABSTRACT:
An ESD-protecting circuit is connected between a terminal pad and an internal circuit formed in an LSI. The ESD-protecting circuit includes a conductive line connected to the terminal pad; first and second protecting elements, connected to the conductive line; and first and second resistive elements formed on the. The conductive line has a slit that divides the conductive line so that the first and second resistive elements have equal resistive values.
