A field device coupling apparatus for coupling a field device to a higher-level controller, including a current interface with a first interface connection point and a second interface connection point, with which interface connection points the field device coupling apparatus can be connected to the higher-level controller in order to receive an interface current, further including a load circuit connected between the first interface connection point and the second interface connection point, the load circuit including a controllable load and being adapted to provide a supply voltage for the field device using the controllable load based on the interface current, wherein the load circuit includes an AC negative feedback path, which runs from an output branch of the load circuit to an input terminal of the controllable load and serves to increase the AC impedance between the first interface connection point and the second interface connection point.
