- the electronic unit 1 of the field device 1 has a transceiver unit 2, a computing unit 3 and a measuring part 4.
- the measuring part is preferably electronic components which serve to detect the respective measured variable received by the sensor element and convert it into an electrical signal ,
- the transceiver unit 2 in turn serves among other things
- the transceiver unit 2 has a control unit 2a. Since conventional transceiver units 2 are designed only for relatively low transients, the scope of an electronic unit 1 as shown in Fig. 1, limited. In particular for the protection of the transceiver unit, it has become known from the prior art to implement one or more voltage-limiting elements which extend the application range for a corresponding electronic unit 1 with transceiver unit 2. Frequently, diodes 6a, 6b, 6c are used for this purpose, as shown by way of example in FIG.

- Supply voltage and less than a maximum allowable voltage of the transceiver unit 2 is. If the supply voltage exceeds a definable limit value, which in this particular example is given by the blocking voltage of the diode 9a, the diode 9a becomes conductive and thus controls the input voltage for the gate of the transistor 8 to the predefinable control value. As a result, the current flowing through the transistor 8 decreases and a higher voltage component drops across the transistor 8. This voltage component is always just so large that the input voltage UTE of the transceiver unit 2 corresponds to the specifiable transceiver Voltage value, which is also usually smaller than the maximum permissible value for the input voltage of the transceiver unit 2 is selected does not exceed.
