Abstract
A circuit arrangement for protection against electrostatic discharges has a diverting structure, which includes a diverting element and a switchable element. The diverting element can be set up to drain off an electrostatic discharge between a first and a second terminal. The switchable element can take a first and a second switching state, where a function of the diverting element can be activated depending on the switching state of the switchable element.
