Abstract

A protection circuit for a semiconductor device includes a first gate electrode formed on a substrate of a first conductivity type, and a source and a drain of a second conductivity type having an opposite polarity to the first conductivity type. The source and the drain are commonly coupled to a ground voltage terminal, and the first gate electrode is coupled to a power supply voltage terminal.
