This presentation summarizes different types of clipper circuits. It defines clippers as circuits that can clip off or remove unwanted portions of an input waveform without distorting the rest. The presentation describes series and parallel/shunt clipper circuits, and provides examples of unbiased and biased series and parallel clipper circuits. It explains how different clipper circuits work and lists some applications of clippers such as changing waveform shapes and circuit transient protection.

4. CLIPPER
 Clipper are circuits which can clip off or removes
unwanted portion of the input wave form without distorting
the rest of the wave form.
 It is also known as Limiter, Slicers .

5. EXAMPLE
 It is used for Amplitude limiting and Noise elimination.

8. TYPES
Clippers
Series Clippers Shunt Or Parallel Clippers
Unbiased Series Clippers Biased Series Clippers Unbiased Shunt Clippers Biased Shunt Clippers
-ve +ve -ve +ve -ve +ve -ve +ve

9. SERIES CLIPPERS AND PARALLEL
OR SHUNT CLIPPERS
The series clipper is defined as one where
diode is in series with the load, while the shunt
clipper has the diode in a branch parallel to the
load.

10. UNBIASED SERIES
CLIPPER

11.  NEGATIVE SERIES CLIPPER
C A S E 1 F. B V o = V i
c a s e 2 R . B V o = o

12.  POSITIVE SERIES CLIPPER

13. UNBIASED SHUNT
CLIPPERS

14. NEGATIVE SHUNT CLIPPERS

15. C A S E 1 : Vi > 0 : R . B : Vo = Vi

16. C A S E 2 : Vi < 0 : F. W : Vo = 0

17. POSITIVE SHUNT CLIPPER

18. CASE 1 : F.B : Vi = 0

19. CASE 2: R.B: Vo=Vi

20. APPLICATIONS
There are numerous clipper application and it is not
possible to discuss all of them. However, In general clippers
are used to perfumed one of the following to functions.
 Changing the shaped of the wave.
 Circuit transient protection.
