Disclosed examples include integrated circuits, fabrication methods and ESD protection circuits to selectively conduct current between a protected node and a reference node during an ESD event, including a protection transistor, a first diode and a resistor formed in a first region of a semiconductor structure, and a second diode formed in a second region isolated from the first region by a polysilicon filled deep trench, where the first and second diodes include cathodes formed by deep N wells alongside the deep trench in the respective first and second regions to use integrated deep trench diode rings to set the ESD protection trigger voltage and prevent a parasitic deep N well/P buried layer junction from breakdown at lower than the rated voltage of the host circuitry.
