Clamping Diode. The diode is connected parallel to the load. In the most basic sense a clamping diode circuit is one consisting of a diode capacitor and a resistor to limit the output voltage to a specified range.
A clamper is an electronic circuit that fixes either the positive or the negative peak excursions of a signal to a defined value by shifting its dc value. Voltage is allowed to pass to ground but prevented from suddenly passing through sensitive upstream circuitry. For input negative half cycle.
A clamping circuit is used to place either the positive or negative peak of a signal at a desired level.
A clamping circuit is used to place either the positive or negative peak of a signal at a desired level. And a capacitor which provides a dc offset. In the most basic sense a clamping diode circuit is one consisting of a diode capacitor and a resistor to limit the output voltage to a specified range. A clamping diode allows current to flow in only one direction.
