In an electrostatic protection circuit of the present invention, a trigger voltage for causing snapback operation in MOSFET is reduced and circuit elements with low breakdown voltages can be protected. A protection nMOSFET having a drain connected to an input/output terminal and a source and a substrate that are grounded is provided. A diode array, composed of at least one diode, is connected in series in a forward direction between the gate of the protection nMOSFET and the input/output terminal. Finally, a resistor is connected between the gate of the protection nMOSFET and ground.
