Clamper Circuit Diagram. A clamper circuit is a circuit that adds a dc level to an ac signal. Another significant difference between clipper and clamper is the shape of the output waveform.
As we can shift the levels of peaks of the signal by using a clamper hence it is also called a level shifter. A clamping adds a d c components to the signal and does not change the shape or amplitude of the input signal. In this article the working of a clamping circuit is explained.
A clamping adds a d c components to the signal and does not change the shape or amplitude of the input signal.
Clamping circuits are designed to shift the input waveform either above or below the dc reference level without altering the waveform shape. An ntsc us video standard video signal white level corresponds to a minimum 12 5 transmitted power. The major difference between clipper and clamper is that clipper is a limiting circuit which limits the output voltage while clamper is a circuit which shifts the dc level of output voltage. Clamping circuits are designed to shift the input waveform either above or below the dc reference level without altering the waveform shape.
