To Study Parallel Diode Clipper Circuits Operation

OBJECTIVE
 To observe and analyze parallel diode clippers
THEORY
The process of cutoff of a waveform on output is called limiters. Sometimes we need
different output wave, so we get this wave by using clippers.
Thus, diode can be used as voltage clippers in series as well as parallel. In both cases, diode
is biased as well as unbiased. Then, further biased and unbiased voltage diodes have positive and
negative clipped voltages.

In parallel unbiased positive clipper, it will be reversed biased during negative half
cycle but during positive cycle, it will be forward biased and an output waveform up to
0.7 V will be shown.
