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
