Clippers
Clippers  networks that employ diodes
clip away portion of input signal
don’t distort remaining part of applied waveform.

Example  half-wave rectifier


+ve or –ve region of applied signal is clipped off.

Two categories 
1) Series: diode is in series with load
2) Parallel: diode in branch parallel to load.

Series clippers 
Clippers
Series clippers with dc supply 

Transition voltages 
vi = V and vo = 0

“on” and “off” regions 

Diode in “on” state 


v o = vi – V
vopeak = Vm – V
Clippers
Promble-15:
Determine the output waveform for the sinusoidal input of Fig. 15.

Transition voltages 
vi = -5 V and vo = 0

“on” and “off” regions 

Diode in “on” state 


vo = vi + 5 V
vopeak = Vm + 5 V
Clippers
Promble-16:
Find the output voltage for the network in Fig. 16.

For vi = 20 V (0 ~ T/2) 
diode is in short-circuit state, and vo = 20 V + 5 V = 25 V.

For vi = -10 V (T/2 ~ T) 


diode is in “off” state, and vo = iRR = (0)R = 0 V.
Clippers
Parallel clipper 
Clippers
Promble-17:
Determine vo for the network of Fig. 17.
Clippers
Promble-18:
Determine vo for the network of Fig. 18 using a silicon diode with VK = 0.7 V.
Clippers
Simple series clippers:

Biased series clippers:
