Question
3. Design a clipping circuit that will limit the output voltage to 5V when applying an input
sinusoidal waveform with a peak value of 10V. Assume available diodes with voltage drop
of 0.5V. Sketch the output waveform of the circuit.
4. Sketch the output waveform for the clipping circuit of Fig.1 if a load resistance RL of value
1 k2 is connected at the output terminals in parallel with the diode.
5. Discuss how diode limiters and diode clampers differ in terms of their function.
6. Design a clamper circuit that shifts the DC level of an input sinusoidal waveform by +6V if
the peak value of the input signal is 3V, and its frequency is 500 Hz. Assume diode voltage
drop is 0.6V.
7. What is the effect of reducing the load resistor on the output of the clamper circuit shown in
Fig.5 if the input signal is a square wave?
8. What is the difference between a positive clamper and a negative clamper? Explain with
the aid of circuit diagrams and output waveforms.
