Diode Clipping Circuit:-
The diode clipper is an electronic circuit consisting of a diode and resistor. That Clip's (or) Cut's of an input signal. The output of the clipping circuit is depends on the Diode orientation and input signal, Such a circuit is termed as diode clipper.
The clipped-off signal produced at the output becomes flat when a certain voltage limit has reached and due to this it is also termed as diode limiter.
The half-wave rectifier is an example of a diode clipping circuit because when the diode is forward biased any voltage below zero is clipped off and, similarly, when the diode is reverse biased any voltage above zero is clipped off.
Clippers are classified by the orientation of the diode as shown in below:
- series clipper
- Series POSITIVE Clipper
- Series POSITIVE Clipper with POSITIVE Bias
- Series PSITIVE Clipper with NEGATIVE Bias
- Series NEGATIVE Clipper
- Series NEGATIVE Clipper with POSITIVE Bias
- Series NEGATIVE Clipper with NEGATIVE Bias
- Parallel Clipper
- Parallel POSITIVE Clipper
- Parallel POSITIVE Clipper with POSITIVE Bias
- Parallel POSITIVE Clipper with NEGATIVE Bias
- Parallel NEGATIVE Clipper
- Parallel NEGATIVE Clipper with POSITIVE Bias
- Parallel NEGATIVE Clipper with NEGATIVE Bias
