Claim:
1. An integrated circuit arrangement comprising: a first circuit part which can be supplied with a first supply voltage, a second circuit part which can be supplied with a second supply voltage, the first circuit part and the second circuit part being arranged in a manner spatially separate from one another, the first circuit part having a first conduction element, the second circuit part having a second conduction element, and a third conduction element, the third conduction element being electrically-isolated from and arranged between the first conduction element and the second conduction element in such a manner that the third conduction element is arranged adjacent to the first conduction element and the third conduction element is also arranged adjacent to the second conduction element, the third conduction element being able to be supplied with a reference potential at a first end, and the third conduction element being connected, at a second end, to an evaluation circuit that is electrically-isolated from the first conduction element and from the second conduction element for detecting a short circuit from the first conduction element to the third conduction element or from the second conduction element to the third conduction element.
