    This document discusses two types of diode clipping circuits: positive peak clippers and negative peak clippers. A positive peak clipper uses a shunt diode configuration to attenuate positive portions of the input waveform. A negative peak clipper uses a series diode configuration to attenuate negative portions of the input waveform. The circuit diagrams, graphs of input vs output voltage, and transfer characteristics are provided to illustrate the clipping behavior of each type of circuit.

    Diode Clipping Circuits

    Positive peak clipper circuit:


    Shunt clipper:
    A Clipper circuit in which the diode is connected in parallel to the input signal and that
    attenuates the positive portions of the waveform, is termed as Positive parallel Clipper.

    Circuit Diagram:

    Transform Characterstics :

    Inference: From Vin Vs Vout and transfer characteristics graph we observed that For all
    the value of input greater than 3 volt the output is clipped and rest is fallows the input

    Negative peak clipping Circuit:
    Series Clipper:
    A Clipper circuit in which the diode is connected in series to the input signal and that
    attenuates the negative portions of the waveform, is termed as Negative Series Clipper.

    Inference: By observing the input output graph and transfer characteristics graph it
    concluded that for all input value less than -2.5volt, the output is clipped and
    approximately rest is fallowed the input
