Clamper Circuit. Other than the name clamping circuit baseline stabilizer or dc reinserted or level shifter or d c restorer are also frequently used. The clamper circuits are also known as dc resistors.
So as you can see over here in this diagram this clamper circuit shifts the entire waveform upwards. Clamper circuits consist of energy storage elements like capacitors. Clamper circuits as dc restorers an application of the clamper circuit is as a dc restorer in composite video circuitry in both television transmitters and receivers.
In the below figure the clamper circuit is shown that is adding a positive dc level in the input ac signal.
As the dc level gets shifted a clamper circuit is called as a level shifter. The circuit which can set the positive or negative peak of the input ac signal at a required level is what we call as a clamping circuit. As the dc level gets shifted a clamper circuit is called as a level shifter. The clamper circuits are also known as dc resistors.
