Types of Clamper
Positive Clamper
A positive clamper is a type of clamper circuit that shifts the entire waveform in the positive direction. It adds a positive DC component to the input signal during the charging phase, resulting in an upward shift of the waveform.

Positive clamper with positive Vr
Operation: Adding a positive voltage changes the amount of DC. When the charging capacitor and positive voltage are put together, they cause a stronger upwards shift in the output pattern.
Effect: The entire waveform moves higher by a value chosen from the positive voltage.
Positive clamper with positive Vr
Positive Clamper with Negative Vr
Operation: A negative bias voltage in a positive clamper changes the DC level. This happens because of downward shift caused by the negative side. This makes the negative change in the output waveform more noticeable.
Effect: The entire waveform is moved down lower by an amount decided by the negative voltage.

Negative Clamper
In contrast, a negative clamper shifts the entire waveform in the negative direction. It adds a negative DC component to the input signal during the charging phase, leading to a downward shift of the waveform.

Negative clamper with positive Vr
Operation: Adding a good extra electricity in a negative clamper affects the level that doesn’t change. The use of a charging battery and a strong positive pressure leads to an increased shift towards the positive side in the output pattern.
Effect: The entire waveform is moved higher by a measure decided by the positive battery voltage.
Negative clamper with positive Vr
Negative Clamper with Negative Vr
Operation: Adding a negative voltage in a clamper causes it to lower the DC level by moving down. This happens because of the negativity from that extra charge you add on. This makes the downward change in the output waveform more noticeable.
Effect: The entire waveform is moved down by an amount set by the negative battery voltage.

Difference Between Clipper and Clamper
Clippers and Clampers are very important for changing waveforms into different shapes. They are important parts of handling signals, helping engineers to manage and change electrical messages. A clipper is a simple electric system made to change the shape of an incoming sound wave. It controls or “clips” how loud it can be, so we don’t need full strength from start to finish. A clipper’s job is to take out or handle certain parts of a signal when it goes above or below a set limit. On the other hand, a clamper is an electronic part made to put DC (steady current) into AC (changing current). A clamper’s job is to move the whole waveform higher or lower without changing its shape.
