3. Clipper Circuits
• A circuit which cutoff voltage above or below are both at specified level is
called clipper.
• One of the simples example of clipper circuit is Half-wave-rectifier
• Clipper circuits also known as limiters, Amplitude selectors or Slicers

4. Types of Clipper Circuits

5. Note
In all explanation diode will be consider as ideal.

6. Unbiased positive clipper
• In positive unbiased Clipper , Positive portion of sine wave clipped out and
we got only negative portion of sine wave.

7. Unbiased negative clipper
• In unbiased negative clipper, negative portion of sine wave is clipped out

8. Biased negative clipper
• When a small portion of the negative half cycle is to be removed, it is called
a biased negative clipper.
