Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electrostatic protection circuit includes first, second and third diodes, a resistance element, and a MOS field-effect transistor. The first diode is coupled to a first wiring. The second diode is coupled between the first diode and a second wiring. The third diode is coupled between the first wiring and a first node at which the first diode and the second diode are coupled to each other. The resistance element is coupled between the third diode and the first wiring. The MOS field-effect transistor is coupled between the first node and the first wiring. A gate of the MOS field-effect transistor is electrically coupled to a second node at which the resistance element and the third diode are coupled to each other.
