DIODE CLIPPING CIRCUITS
AIM: To realize diode clipping circuits (single /double ended).
COMPONENTS REQUIRED: Diode (1N4001), resistor(3.3kohm), DC regulated power supply
signal generator and CRO.
THEORY: clippers are the circuits, which have the ability to clip of some positions of the
alternating wave form, with the rest of the waveform remaining the same. They are also known as
limiters. The basic components required for a clipping circuit are an ideal diode and a resistor in
order to fix the clipping level to the desired amount a dc battery must also be included. When the
diode is forward biased, it acts as a closed switch and when it is reverse biased, it acts a open
switch. Different levels of clipping can be obtained by varying the amount of voltage of the battery
and also interchanging the position of the diode and resistor depending on the features of the diode,
the positive or negative region of the input signal is clipped off and accordingly the diode clippers
may be positive or negative. There are 2 general categories of clippers:
Series and parallel (shunt). The series configurations and designed as has the diode in a branch
parallel to the load. Diode clipping circuits are used to eliminate amplitude noise or voltage spikes,
voltage regulation or to produce new waveforms from an existing signal such as squaring of the
peak of the sinusoidal waveform to obtain a rectangular waveform. Timing circuits are utilized in
diode receivers to avoid the noise pulse that rise above the average signal amplitude. Half wave
rectifiers are examples of clippers since they clip off negative half of waveform.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM AND WAVEFORM:
DESIGN: To find the value of R,
Given Rf= 100Ω, Rr=100kΩ
Rf is diode forward resistance
Rr is diode reverse resistance
R=√RfRr = √100*100*103
R= 3.16KΩ.
Choose R=3.3KΩ
1. Positive Clipping Circuit:
Shunt Clipper: Consider that the output voltage is to be clipped of at +3V.Therefore,
V0=3V. From circuit diagram V0= Vd+Vref Where, Vd is the diode drop= 0.6V. Therefore
Vref =Vo-Vd =3-0.6 = 2.4V.

2. Negative Clipping Circuit:
Shunt Clipper: Consider that the output voltage is to be clipped at -3V, therefore Vo =
-3V. From the circuit diagram, Vo= (-Vref) +Vd
Vref =V0 +Vr = -3V+0.6V = -2.4V

3. Double Ended Clipper: Consider that output voltage to be clipped at positive level
+3V and also at negative level at -3V.
Therefore, V01=+3V, V02= -3V
V01= Vref1 +Vd
Vref1 =V01-Vd = 3-0.6 =2.4V
V02= Vref2 -Vd
Vref2 =V02+Vd = -3+0.6= -2.4V

PROCEDURE:
1. Open Multisim software and place all the components according to the circuit diagram on the
circuit window.
2. Make the wire connections
3. Set the function generator input as 5Vp, 1khz and connect the Oscilloscope to input and
output.
4. Check the input on channel A and out put on channel B of the oscilloscope
5. Repeat for negative and double ended clipper circuits.

RESULT: The above-mentioned diode clipper circuits have been simulated and output verified.
