adjustable bipolar clamp


Posted on Dec 10, 2012

The easy way to clamp a signal to a given value is to use two zener diodes, connected back-to-back. This method has several disadvantages. The accuracy of the clamping depends on the tolerance of the zener diodes, and the clamping is not adjustable, except by changing diodes. The circuit in Figure 1 is a bipolar clamper with a range of ±1 to ±10V, with the clamping level a function of the input VCLAMP.
