    POSITIVE DIODE CLIPPER

    1
    In a positive clipper, the positive half cycles of the input voltage will be removed. The circuit
    arrangements for a positive clipper are illustrated in the figure given below. As shown in the figure, the
    diode is kept in series with the load. During the positive half cycle of the input waveform, the diode „D‟ is
    reverse biased, which maintains the output voltage at 0 Volts. Thus causes the positive half cycle to be
    clipped off. During the negative half cycle of the input, the diode is forward biased and so the negative
    half cycle appears across the output. In Figure (b), the diode is kept in parallel with the load. This is the
    diagram of a positive shunt clipper circuit. During the positive half cycle, the diode „D‟ is forward biased
    and the diode acts as a closed switch. This causes the diode to conduct heavily. This causes the voltage
    drop across the diode or across the load resistance RL to be zero. Thus output voltage during the positive
    half cycles is zero, as shown in the output waveform. During the negative half cycles of the input signal
    voltage, the diode D is reverse biased and behaves as an open switch. Consequently the entire input
    voltage appears across the diode or across the load resistance RL if R is much smaller than RL.

    NEGATIVE DIODE CLIPPER

    The negative clipping circuit is almost same as the positive clipping circuit, with only one
    difference. If the diode is reconnected with reversed polarity, the circuits will become for a negative series
    clipper and negative shunt clipper respectively.

    For Vi < VR +Vr ,

    The diode D is OFF, since it is reverse biased and hence does not contact. Since
    no current flows, there is no voltage drop across R.

    VO = Vi for Vi < VR + Vr Where Vr is Cut-in voltage of the diode.


    For Vi > VR + Vr , the diode D is ON, Since it is forward biased and the potential barrier is

    overcome
    Vo = VR+ Vr

    Transfer characteristic Equation:


    Vo= Vi for Vi < VR + Vr Vo= VR + Vr for Vi > VR + Vr

    TWO LEVEL CLIPPERS

    When a portion of both positive and negative of each half cycle of the input voltage is to be
    clipped (or removed), combination clipper is employed.
    The action of the circuit is summarized below. For positive input voltage signal when input
    voltage exceeds battery voltage „+ V1„diode D1 conducts heavily while diode „D2„is reversed biased and
    so voltage „+ V1„appears across the output. This output voltage „+ V1„stays as long as. the input signal
    voltage exceeds „+ V1„. On the other hand for the negative input voltage signal, the diode „D1„ remains
    reverse biased and diode „D2„ conducts heavily only when input voltage exceeds battery voltage „V2„ in
    magnitude. Thus during the negative half cycle the output stays at „- V2„so long as the input signal voltage
    is greater than „-V2„.

    Procedure:

    1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram


    2. For the positive clipper the diode is connected along with reference voltage as shown by applying
    the input and the output is observed on the C.R.O.
    3. For the negative clipper the directions of diode and the reference voltage are reversed and by giving
    the input, the output is observed on the C.R.O.
    4. For the Slicer Circuit has two Diodes along with reference voltages are connected as shown and output
    is observed on the C.R.O.
    5. Asinusoidalinput10V(p-p)1KHZ isgivento Pulseclipper,negativeclipperandslicercircuitand
    corresponding output isobserved.
