Clippers (Diode as Clippers)

Posted by AJ × 00:25

Application of diode as Clippers

• Clippers have ability to “clip/remove” off a portion of the input signal without

distorting the remaining part of the alternating waveform.

• HWR is simplest form of clippers. The orientation of diode is going to decide the part

of sinusoidal waveform to be clipped off.

Clipper configuration

Depending on the way in which the diodes are connected with the input, the clipper are

classified in to two major categories, viz.,

• Series configuration

• Parallel configuration
