    Clamping Circuites, Clipper & Peak Detectors: Dr. C. Saritha, Lecturer in Electronics S.S.B.N P.G College, Anantapur

    This document discusses three types of non-linear circuits: clamping circuits, clippers, and peak detectors. Clamping circuits adjust the DC level of a waveform without changing its shape or amplitude. Clippers clip off portions of the input waveform above or below a reference voltage. Peak detectors track the input signal and hold the maximum detected value. The document provides circuit diagrams and example waveforms for each type of circuit to illustrate their functions and operations.

    INTRODUCTION
    Some of the non linear function circuits are :
    CLAMPERS CLIPPERS PEAK DETECTORS

    CLAMPING CIRCUITS
    The clamping circuits in general, designed
    clamp the top or bottom of a waveform. Fixed d.c. level, which may be zero, while preserving its shape and amplitude The distinguishing feature of a clamper is that is it adjusts the d.c. level without needing to know the exact waveform.

    Operation of the circuit :


    vi = vm sin t and vref

    input voltage

    Interval 0 t : Vi is positive, Vd is negative V0 is negative the diode is reverse biased. No current flows through the capacitor i.e. it is not charged. Interval t 3 /2 : Vi is negative V0 is positive. The diode conducts and the NV terminal of the op amp behaves as virtual ground. The capacitor c1 gets charged with point A at a potential higher than that of point be the capacitor gets charged to the peak value Vm of the input voltage.

    Interval t > 3/2 : Vd = - (Vm + Vi) = -Vm (1+sin t ) And diode D is OFF. As a result the output voltage. V0 = - Vd = Vm (1+sin t ) Reference voltage the capacitor gets charged to (Vm +vref ) the output voltage.
    V0 = Vm sin t + (Vm +vref )

    Examples : Vm = 10 v and Vref = 5v V0 = 10 sin t +10+5 = 10 sin t + 15

    Waveforms for +vref and vref :

    CLIPPER
    Clipper are circuits which can clipp off a portion of the input waveform without distorting the rest of the waveform. Clipping circuits are also refer limiter amplitude selectors or slicers.

    POSITIVE CLIPPER :
    Precession diode which can be used to slice off a portion of the positive half of the input signal. The level at which clipping is done is determined by the reference voltage.

    Positive clipper :

    Positive clipper waveforms :

    NEGATIVE CLIPPER :
    Reversed and the reference voltage the resulting circuit is a negative clipper circuit. it clips OFF the negative region of the input signal waveform below the reference voltage.

    Negative clipper circuit :

    Negative clipper waveforms :

    PEAK DETECTORS
    Detector : The maximum value is called detector Peak detectors : Peak detectors ate electronic circuits that track the input signal faithfully until it detects a peak and holds that value until a new, Larger peak is detected.

    Basic peak detector : The diode allows un directional current to charge the capacitor. The capacitor stories the charge and acts as a voltage memory. It holds the peak value of the input voltage. To detect a peak, S1 has to be closed and S2 open. To hold the peak value both the switches should be open. To reset the circuit, S1 has to be opened and S2 closed.
