A capacitor is used to restore the DC charge for shifting the DC level of the AC signal. ie. it helps to maintain the level depending on the its time constant.

How does clamper work?

A clamper circuit is an electrical circuit that shifts the DC level of a signal. It consists of a diode, capacitor, and resistor. When a positive or negative peak in the input signal is detected, the capacitor charges or discharges to shift the DC level. This allows the output signal to oscillate around the desired DC level.


What is clamper?

A clamper is an electronic circuit that prevents a signal from exceeding a certain defined magnitude by shifting its DC value. The clamper does not restrict the peak-to-peak excursion of the signal, but moves it up or down by a fixed value


Can I check the capacitor value by using analog or multimeter?

You can see if the capacitor charges and discharges with an ohmmeter. You can check the value of the capacitor if the multimeter has the facility. With an ESR meter you can establish the value of the capacitor while in circuit.


What should be the value of capacitor at transistor amplifier circuit input?

at full input, if the transistor is working, the value of capacitor will be 0.


How does the positive clamper works in electronic circuits?

A negative clamper circuit is considered. It shifts original input signal in a downward direction.While positive input is applied, diode is forward biased. The output voltage is Vo which is equal barrier potential of the diode. The capacitor is charged to V-Vo.When negative input cycle, diode does not conduct because it is reverse biased and the capacitor can not discharge very much because time constant (RC) choosen is high. Now output is sum of input voltage and capacitor voltage and it is equal to -(2V - Vo). Now peak to peak output voltage is difference of output voltages when positive and negative half cycles and it is equal to V-(-(2V - Vo)) or 2V.In negative clamper, input signal is pushed downward and positive peak of the output signal coincides with zero level.In positive clamper circuit, unlike in negative clamper circuit, diode is connected reversely.There is no change in connection of capacitor. But resistor is connected after diode. Positive clamping circuit shifts a input signal in upward direction. The output of this circuit shows that negative peak of signal coincides with zero level.

Can a 47 microfarad capacitor in a microtimer circuit be replaced with a 470 microfarad capacitor?

No, the value is far too small. If it is the capacitor used for the timing, the time/s will be reduced to one tenth of the deisred value.
