    Abstract: The present invention provides an ESD protection circuit including a discharge transistor, a first switch, a second switch, a third switch and a fourth switch. The discharge transistor forms a discharge path between a first voltage terminal and a second voltage terminal. The first switch selectively provides voltage at the first voltage terminal to a control terminal of the discharge transistor. The second switch selectively provides voltage at the second voltage terminal to the control terminal of the discharge transistor. The third switch selectively provides voltage at the first voltage terminal to a substrate of the discharge transistor. The fourth switch selectively provides voltage at second voltage terminal to the substrate of the discharge transistor.
