The output from a biased clamper has a dc reference voltage that is
A) approximately equal to the dc voltage that is applied to the diode.
B) approximately equal to 0 V.
C) dependent on the peak-to-peak value of the ac input.
D) equal to the dc average of the circuitʹs output signal.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The output from a biased clamper has a dc reference voltage that is approximately equal to the dc voltage applied to the diode. This is because the biasing voltage essentially shifts the waveform up or down by the amount of the applied dc voltage, directly influencing the dc reference level of the output.
