The present disclosure presents a surge protection circuit, and a power supply device and an LED lighting device both applying the surge protection circuit. The surge protection circuit includes an inductive circuit and an energy-releasing circuit. The inductive circuit is coupled to a power loop for a load, and is configured to receive and temporarily store surge energy in the power loop. The energy-releasing circuit is connected in parallel with the inductive circuit, and is configured to release the surge energy for preventing the surge energy from affecting later-stage circuit(s).

An integrated circuit may include an over-capability detection circuit coupled to an I/O pad which provides a shut-off signal to a latch controlling an ESD protection shunting component. The ESD protection shunting component is coupled between the I/O pad and a reference node of the integrated circuit. The over-capability detection circuit provides the shut-off signal when safe operating conditions are resumed after a voltage excursion at the I/O pad. After receiving the shut-off signal, the latch biases the ESD protection shunting component into an off-state.

An electrostatic discharge protection circuit incudes an electrostatic discharge dissipation component having a first conduction terminal, a second conduction terminal, and a control terminal. Identical first and second devices each include first and second conduction terminals, where the respective first conduction terminals of the first and second devices are connected to the control terminal of the electrostatic discharge dissipation component, and the respective second terminals of the first and second devices are respectively connected to the first conduction terminal of the electrostatic discharge dissipation component and to the second conduction terminal of the electrostatic discharge dissipation component.
