A circuit arrangement for load regulation of circuit components is arranged in a receive path of a transponder, having an input path through which a first voltage signal can be tapped, having a voltage sensor arranged in the input path for measuring the first voltage signal, having at least one output path through which a discharge current signal can be tapped, having at least one controllable auxiliary current source arranged between the input path and the output path to provide the at least one discharge current signal, the control side of the auxiliary current source being connected to an output of the voltage sensor such that the value of the discharge current signal increases exponentially with increasing voltage of the first voltage signal.
