This document presents on different types of clipper circuits. It discusses unbiased positive and negative clipper circuits, as well as biased positive and negative clipper circuits. It provides circuit diagrams to illustrate each type and describes how they work to clip portions of input signals. The document also outlines using Pspice to observe input and output signals of clipper circuits and references sources for more information.

4. Clipper
Circuit
 In electronics, a clipper is a device designed to
prevent the output of a circuit from exceeding a
predetermined voltage level without distorting the
remaining part of the applied waveform.
 Clipping circuits are also called slicers, amplitude
selectors or limiters.

6. Unbiased positive Clippers
 Positive clippers are used to clip positive portions of the input signal and
allow the negative portions of the signal to pass through.
 Figure below shows that the positive cycle is completely clipped off by the
clipper.

7. Unbiased Negative clippers
 Negative clippers are used to clip Negative portions of the input signal and
allow the positive portions of the signal to pass through
 Figure shows that the negative cycle is completely clipped off by the
clipper.

8. Biased series positive clipper
 A biased clipper comes in handy when a small portion of positive or
negative half cycles of the signal voltage is to be removed. When a small
portion of the positive half cycle is to be removed, it is called a biased
positive clipper. The circuit diagram and waveform is shown in the figure
below

9. Biased series negative clipper
 A biased clipper comes in handy when a small portion of positive or negative
half cycles of the signal voltage is to be removed. When a small portion of the
negative half cycle is to be removed, it is called a biased negative clipper. The
circuit diagram and waveform is shown in the figure below
