Make VL high for a large duty cycle for the clamp circuit. The circuits below can be used because the clamp voltage must be
much lower than 1.5 V.

In circuit A, R1 and R2 must be determined considering the effects of tP, R, or RT.
The transistor saturation voltage must be very small (<0.15 V) for any clamp circuit, so a transistor with a very small VCE (sat)
should be used.
