    The document describes positive and negative clamper circuits. A positive clamper circuit shifts the output signal to the positive portion of the input signal by using a diode, resistor, and capacitor. During the negative half cycle, the capacitor charges to the peak negative value and makes the diode forward biased. This shifts the output voltage positively. A negative clamper circuit similarly shifts the output to the negative portion of the input by charging the capacitor during the positive half cycle. The document explains the operation of both circuits and poses logical questions about necessary clamper components and applications.

    Positive Clamper:

    A Clamping circuit restores the DC level. When a negative peak of the signal
    is raised above to the zero level, then the signal is said to be positively
    clamped.
    A Positive Clamper circuit is one that consists of a diode, a resistor and a capacitor
    and that shifts the output signal to the positive portion of the input signal. The
    figure below explains the construction of a positive clamper circuit.

    Initially when the input is given, the capacitor is not yet charged and the diode
    is reverse biased. The output is not considered at this point of time. During the
    negative half cycle, at the peak value, the capacitor gets charged with negative on
    one plate and positive on the other. The capacitor is now charged to its peak
    value VmVm. The diode is forward biased and conducts heavily.

    During the next positive half cycle, the capacitor is charged to positive Vm
    while the diode gets reverse biased and gets open circuited. The output of the
    circuit at this moment will be
    V0=Vi+Vm
    Hence the signal is positively clamped as shown in the above figure. The output
    signal changes according to the changes in the input, but shifts the level according
    to the charge on the capacitor, as it adds the input voltage.

    Negetive Clamper:

    A Negative Clamper circuit is one that consists of a diode, a resistor and a


    capacitor and that shifts the output signal to the negative portion of the input
    signal. The figure below explains the construction of a negative clamper circuit.
    During the positive half cycle, the capacitor gets charged to its peak value vmvm.
    The diode is forward biased and conducts. During the negative half cycle, the

    diode gets reverse biased and gets open circuited. The output of the circuit at this
    moment will be
    V0=Vi+Vm
    Hence the signal is negatively clamped as shown in the above figure. The output
    signal changes according to the changes in the input, but shifts the level according
