An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device is provided. The ESD protection device includes a first ESD protection unit in a P-type semiconductor substrate to protect a first circuit. The first ESD protection unit includes first and second N-type and P-type well regions. The first N-type and P-type doped regions are in the first N-type well region. The second N-type and P-type doped regions are in the first P-type and second N-type well regions. The third N-type and P-type doped regions are in the second P-type well region. The first P-type and the third N-type doped regions are electrically connected to a common bus electrically connected to power supply and ground terminals of the first circuit. The first N-type and the second P-type doped regions are electrically connected to the power supply terminal. The second N-type and the third P-type doped regions are electrically connected to the ground terminal.
