Biased Clamper Circuit Diagram. The construction of the clamper circuit is almost similar to the clipper circuit. A typical clamper is made up of a capacitor diode and resistor.
The diode is forward biased and conducts. Types of clamper circuits 1. Thus the entire positive half cycle appears across the load as illustrated by output wave form figure a.
Positive cycle of the input when the input voltage is applied the positive cycle of the input makes the point a in the circuit positive with respect to the point b.
In reverse bias diode act as an open switch which means it will not allow the current to flow. A circuit diagram for this circuit is shown in figure d notice that this circuit contains a shunt positive clipper with positive bias and shunt negative clipper with negative bias. The diode is forward biased and conducts. During the negative half cycle the diode gets reverse biased and gets open circuited.
