Experiment Name: Study of Clipping Circuits

Objectives
To steady the diode applications in clipping circuits.

Apparatus Required
1. Function Generator
2. Oscilloscope
3. DC Power Supply
4. Breadboard, Diodes and Resistor.

Theory
In electronics, clipper circuits clip or cuts away part of the input ac signal such that the remaining
part of the signal is not distorted or changed. Clipper circuits may seem similar to bridge rectifiers,
at least the unbiased circuits, but the primary distinction is that clipper circuits are made up of a
diode and a resistor while bridge rectifier is made up only one diode. Clipper circuits can be divided
into two main types: series clippers and parallel clippers. The parallel configuration places the
diode in a branch parallel to the load, whereas the series configuration places the diode in
series with the load.
Series Positive Clippers: In reality, Series Positive Clippers eliminates the input voltage's
positive half-cycles. A positive series clipper is shown in Figure 1. If the input is negative, the
diode is forward biased and displays the input of the negative half cycle at the load. If the input is
positive, the diode is in reverse biased condition, the output shown is zero.

Figure 1: Series Positive Clipper


Parallel Negative Clippers: It eliminates the input voltage's negative half-cycles. A parallel
negative clipper is shown in Figure 2. The diode becomes reverse biased during the positive half
cycle of the input. As a result, the resistor experiences no current flow. The output signal is attained
for the positive half of the input signal as the output current is measured at the load. The diode
becomes forward biased during the negative half of the input signal; therefore no-load current is
produced. In the end, the output for the negative half of the input signal is not seen.

Figure 2: Parallel Negative Clipper


The circuits with the ideal diode are the clippers mentioned above in figures 1 and 2. However, if
the knee voltage (VK) is taken into account, the output voltage of the positive and negative clippers
is indicated in figure 3 (for Si = 0.7 V and Ge = 0.3 V, respectively)

3. Switched on the power supply.
4. Ensured that the variable DC is at minimum and the source is at 10 V PP.
5. Observed the output on oscilloscope and sketched the input and output waveforms.

Discussion:
In this experiment understood the operating principle of diode clipping circuit. In positive diode
clipping circuit a diode clipper that limits or clips the positive part of the input voltage. As the
input voltage goes positive, the diode becomes forwards-biased and conduct current. It is because
the cathode is at ground potential ( 0 v ), the anode 0.7v (assuming silicon).So the drop at D1 is
limited to +0.7v when the input exceeds this value. Next the negative diode clipping circuit. If the
diode is tuned around, the negative part of the input voltage is clipped off. When the diode is
forward-biased during the negative part of the input voltage. Voltage drop at D1 is limited at -0.7v.
when the input voltage goes above -0.7, the diode is no longer forward-biased and a voltage
appears across RL proportional to the input voltage. During the negative half cycle of the input
signal, the diode conducts and acts like a short circuit. Also understand the waveform change of
diode clipping circuit when the bias is applied. In this experiment know how to use oscilloscope
and to get the wave while adding a DC voltage to an AC voltage.
