EDC Lab No.7 (Clamper and Multiplier)

This document contains instructions for an electronics lab experiment involving applications of diodes. The experiment has two exercises: [1] Clamping circuits, where diodes are used to shift the average level of an input signal, and [2] A voltage doubler circuit, where diodes are used to double the output voltage from a power supply. Students are asked to simulate clamping circuits using Proteus software and implement a voltage doubler circuit on a breadboard. They must record waveform measurements, analyze circuit operation, and submit a lab report with their results and explanations.

LABORATORY EXERCISE -7

Applications of Diode (Clamper and Multiplier


Circuits)
Objective: To Study advanced applications of Diodes
The primary purpose of this lab is to develop additional practical knowledge of diodes. Diodes
can be used in specialized circuits which include voltage limiters, level shifter or clampers,
voltage multipliers especially voltage doubler or tripler circuits. In the previous lab, we looked at
some applications of diode, now we will look at some more applications which would show the
versatility of this simple two terminal device.
Required Resources
The following components, test equipment and software would be required.
a) PN Diode
b) Oscilloscope
c) Function Generator
d) Resistors
e) Capacitors
f) Power Supply
g) Proteus Simulation Software.
The Experiment
The experiment is broken down into two exercises; each exercise is divided into further two
parts namely: implementation and simulation. You are required to observe and record the
simulation/implementation results and answer the given questions. Include your answers in your
lab reports.

Exercise1 Part A: Clamping Circuits (Simulation I)


This exercise is to experiment with another application of diode, which is known as clamping.
The clamping circuit is used to shift the average level of an input signal. This part of the exercise
is simulation on Pspice. Follow the steps given below:
 Draw the circuit as shown in figure 2A.
 You have to simulate the circuit by creating your own simulation profile (Hint: use
transient analysis). Make sure the graph obtained is properly drawn.
 Simulate the circuit and record the curves obtained.

Exercise 2: Clamping Circuits (Part A – Simulation II)

In this part we will observe modified clamper circuit as given in figure 2B. Draw this circuit in
Proteus and make a suitable simulation profile setting. Simulate the circuit and answer the
following question:
a. Plot and record both Vin and Vo with respect to time on the same graph and
explain the working of the circuit.
b. What differences do you observe as compared to circuit in figure 2A? Why do
you think these differences occur?
c. Now change the value of PW to 1ms. Observe the waveform, what differences
do you see? Explain with relevant calculations and equations.

12. The following procedure should be adopted while practical implementation of the circuit
given in figure 3:
a. On the bread board patch the circuit shown in the figure 3.
b. Observe first the input waveform and voltage across diode D2 on a dual channel
oscilloscope. Save your results and add them to your report.
c. Second observe the input waveform and output across capacitor C2 on a dual
channel oscilloscope. Save your results and add them to your report.
d. Derive the equations to explain how the voltage doubler works.
