What is Clipper Circuit?

The Clipper Circuit prevents the output waveform from exceeding the certain level and at the same time, it does not distort the reaming part of the waveform.

Application of Clipper Circuit

The Clipper Circuits are used in the wave-shaping circuit and the voltage protection circuit.

Types of Clipper Circuit

Depending on which portion of the waveform (Positive or Negative) is clipped, the clipper circuit can be classified as

1) Positive Clipper Circuit
2) Negative Clipper Circuit

Further depending on the placement of the diode the clipper circuit can be classified as

1) Series Clipper Circuit
2) Parallel Clipper Circuit

In this video, both series and parallel clipper circuits (with and without biasing voltage) have been discussed and few examples based on the clipper circuit has been solved.
