Types of clippers
The connection and orientation of the diode with the input voltage and the load are used to categorize the different types of clippers. Series clippers, parallel clippers, and double clippers are the three different types of clippers. Positive and negative clippers are additional categories for the series and parallel clippers.
Introduction to Clippers
A clipper in electronics is a circuit created to stop a signal from going over a specific reference voltage level. The remaining portion of the waveform that is applied is not distorted by a clipper. The clipping of a portion of a wave from an input signal is done with Clipper Circuits. A diode is the main component, and it can be used in series or parallel. Clippers have the benefit of removing the unwanted noise that is present in an AC signal’s amplitude.
