Abstract
In an integrated circuit arrangement with a protective arrangement at least partially integrated into it and protecting the integrated circuit arrangement from high-energy electrical faults, the protective arrangement has an ohmic resistance in the form of one or more resistance areas that is designed so as to absorb a major proportion of the energy from electrical faults in the event of limit loads and distribute the heat generated within it by the energy absorption over a surface of the protective arrangement such that the protective arrangement affected by the heat energy of the ohmic resistance is not thermally overloaded. Furthermore, the protective arrangement has a voltage-limiting element or several voltage-limiting elements to limit the interference voltage.
