An electrostatic discharge protection device includes a protection component and a component controller. The protection component includes a first and a second P-type wells which are disposed in an N-type deep well, a first N-type transistor which is formed in the N-type deep well and the first P-type well, and a second N-type transistor which is formed in the N-type deep well and the second P-type well. When an electrostatic pulse occurs at a first pad or a second pad, the component controller turns on one of the first and the second N-type transistors to discharge the electrostatic pulse. When a first and a second operating signals are supplied to the first and the second pads, the component controller turns off the first and the second N-type transistors according to the first and the second operating signals so that the protection component is incapable of generating the current path.
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device, electrically connected to a first pad and a second pad, and comprising:
A protection component, comprising:
