hi everybody


WHAT IS A VOLTAGE-CLAMPING CIRCUIT?

please, BE SPECIFIC and give me some examples..............

thanks
 

It prevents the voltage from going beyond a certain value. A Zener diode is one example. It draws high current if the voltage one direction is over about 0.3 V and in the other direction it is dependent upon the doping level but usually 3-50 V.


[edited part. The comments below are correct. One form of the circuit puts one end of a waveform at a specific voltage. This is usually done wit a series capacitor and a shunt diode to a voltage.]
 
voltage clampers are ones that adds a dc level to an input signal...
 

A clamping circuit is a circuit that reproduces the input signal on the output side by shifting it either up or down.

This circuit moves the DC level of your signal eigther positively or negatively, using diodes and dc power supplies.
 

It is a circuit that shifts the DC level of a particular input. it mostly uses diodes and capacitors.... the main idea would be to charge the capacitor to a particular voltage...
 

This mite be of use to u.

Any ckt which changes the DC offset of the ac signal is calltd as voltage clamper.
