1. You are to design a diode clipper circuit that will keep high voltage spikes from a 'noisy' power supply from reaching sensitive electronics. A conventional silicon diode is used as part of the design. The clipper circuit is to be designed so that voltages 2 Resistor 10 volts are 'clipped'. SI Diode Vin from noisy Vout to electronics a) What would a suitable Zener breakdown voltage be? source Zener Diode b) From the manufacturer's specifications sheet, what would be a good choice for the Zener diode (i.e. what part number? 1Nxox)? Why? c) If you want to 'clip' voltages that are s-10 volts as well, show how you would modify the circuit.
