Voltajklamp

Voltajklamp is a coined term used in electronics and in speculative or educational contexts to describe a device or method that clamps electrical potential to a predefined level using feedback control. The name signals a controlled, bounded voltage in a system, combining the concepts of voltage regulation with a clamping action.

In concept, a voltajklamp continuously monitors the system voltage and compares it to a target value. If the voltage deviates, a control loop adjusts a power stage to inject or remove current in order to restore the target. Hardware realizations typically involve precision sensors, a feedback amplifier, a digital or analog controller (such as a PID loop), and a bidirectional output stage (for example, MOSFETs and a high-side/low-side driver). Implementations can be hardware-based, software-simulated for educational use, or a hybrid of both.

Voltajklamps are described as protective and instructional tools rather than standardized devices. In practical use, they are discussed in classrooms, maker projects, and some theoretical literature as a way to illustrate feedback control, voltage regulation, and protective limiting. They are closely related to but distinct from established concepts like voltage clamps used in electrophysiology or general power-supply regulation.

Because voltajklamp is not a formally standardized term, descriptions vary by context. It is generally considered a conceptual or prototype construct rather than a universally adopted device. Related topics include voltage clamp techniques, feedback control systems, op-amps, and power-electronics protection.
