5. A protective circuit configured to protect against electrostatic discharges for connection pins of an application-specific integrated circuit, the protective circuit comprising:
a first connection pin;
a second connection pin, wherein the first connection pin and the second connection pin are connected to one another in a Y configuration;
a shared electronic protective structure configured to protect against positive stress for the first connection pin and for the second connection pin; and
multiple electronic protective structures configured to protect against polarity reversal of the first connection pin and of the second connection pin,
wherein the protective circuit includes a first N-type silicon controlled rectifier and a second N-type silicon controlled rectifier as the electronic protective structures configured to protect against polarity reversal, the first N-type silicon controlled rectifier being connected upstream from the first connection pin and the second N-type silicon controlled rectifier being connected upstream from the second connection pin.
