PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostatic-discharge protection circuit which enhances ESD characteristics by ensuring a plurality of current paths that are uniform against high-voltage generation caused by an electrostatic charge, and enhances reliability of a semiconductor integrated circuit device to a higher level by ensuring the high ESD level. SOLUTION: The electrostatic-discharge protection circuit is constituted such that a plurality of flash cells are arranged, wherein each of the flash cells has a drain, a source, a control gate, and a floating gate, and in each of the flash cells, the drain/source current path is connected between an I/O pad and a grounding line while the control gate is connected to the I/O pad, and a resistor is connected between the floating gate of each flash cell and the grounding line.
