Clamper Circuit

A clamper circuit, also known as a DC restorer, represents a specialized variant of the rectifier circuit, notable for its method of taking the output across the diode rather than the capacitor. This configuration lends to several distinctive applications, particularly in handling square wave inputs.

A clamper circuit consists of a time-varying input signal, a capacitor, and a diode. The output voltage is measured across the diode.

During the negative half-cycle of the square wave input signal, the diode is forward-biased, resulting in zero voltage across the diode.

But at the same time, the capacitor charges to the peak value ...
