    To display the output of diode-based clipper circuit using hardware tools.

    Class FA18-BCE-A

    Instructor’s Name Syed Junaid Akhter


    Objectives:
    To measure the output dc and ac voltages of diode-based series clipper circuit using
    digital storage oscilloscope (DSO).
    To measure the output dc and ac voltages of diode-based shunt clipper circuit using
    digital storage oscilloscope (DSO).

    INTRODUCTION:
    It is frequently necessary to modify the shape of various waveforms for use in
    instrumentation, controls, computation, and communications. Wave shaping is
    often achieved by relatively simple combinations of diodes, resistors, and voltage
    sources. Such circuits are called clippers, limiters, amplitude selectors, or slicers.
    Clipper circuits are primarily used to prevent a waveform from exceeding a
    particular limit, either positive or negative. For example, one may need to limit a
    power supply’s output voltage so it does not exceed +5 V. The most widely used
    wave shaping circuit is the rectifier, which you have previously studied.

    In electronics, a clipper is a circuit design to prevent the output of a circuit from


    exceeding a predetermined voltage level without distorting the remaining part of
    the applied waveform.

    Diode clippers could be used at the inputs of small-signal instruments to protect


    against accidental application of large input signals. This is a low-current
    application, so you use signal diodes, not current diodes.

    Figure 4.1 shows a positive clipper circuit. As indicated, the output voltage has the
    entire positive half-cycles clipped off. The circuit works as follows: During the
    positive half-cycle of the input voltage, the diode turns on. For an ideal diode, the
    output voltage is zero. For an actual diode the output voltage is equal to Vγ, the
    cut-in voltage of the diode.

    During the negative half-cycle, the diode is reverse-biased and can be


    approximated by an open circuit. In many clippers, the load resistor, RL, is much
    larger than the series resistor, R. In which case, essentially all of the negative half-
    cycle voltage appears at the output through
    voltage-divider action. If RL and R
    are comparable, then on the negative half-cycle, the output voltage would be given
    by
    Since the first Vγ volts are used to begin conduction in the diode, the output signal
    is clipped near Vγ, rather than at 0V. If the diode polarity is reversed, the result is a
    negative clipper that removes the negative half cycle. In this case, the clipping
    levels occur near -Vγ.

    LAB TASKS:
    Task 1.1: Determine Threshold voltage

    Determine the threshold voltage for the silicon and germanium diodes using the
    diode-checking capability of the DMM or a curve tracer. Round off to hundredths
    place when recording in the designated space below. If the diode-checking
    capability or curve tracer is unavailable assume VT= 0.7 V for the silicon diode and
    0.3 V for the germanium diode.

    VT(Si) =0.68V
    VT(Ge) = 0.28V
