ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic discharge protection circuit for use in a semiconductor device includes an electrostatic signal discharge unit for discharging an electrostatic signal; a first electrostatic detection voltage supplying unit for generating an electrostatic detection voltage in response to an alternating current component of the electrostatic signal; a driving unit for generating a driving voltage in response to the electrostatic detection voltage in order to drive the electrostatic signal discharge unit; and a second electrostatic detection voltage supplying unit enabled in response to the driving voltage for continuously supplying the electrostatic detection voltage to the driving unit in response to a direct current component of the electrostatic signal.
