ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor apparatus having an outer ESD protective circuit corresponding to each external connection terminal, the outer ESD protective circuit being formed in a peripheral region around the external connection terminals. The outer ESD protective circuit discharges electrostatic voltage from the external connection terminal and avoids the damaging of an internal circuit of the semiconductor apparatus. Accordingly, the ESD withstanding voltage of the semiconductor apparatus is improved.
