    Clipper circuits can clip out parts of an AC signal, such as a half-wave rectifier clipping the negative part. There are two types of clipper circuits: series clippers, which use a diode in series with the AC supply, and parallel clippers, which use a diode across the AC supply. Both circuit types are designed using a combination of AC and lower DC voltages and analyzed using Kirchhoff's voltage law.

    Clipper Circuits
    Clipper Circuits
    Clipper circuits are a kind of circuits which can clip out a certain part of the AC
    signal. In that sense, a half wave rectifier is a clipper circuit as it can clip out the
    negative part of the input signal.

    We know an AC signal consists of a positive half cycle and a negative half cycle.
    Usually the clipper circuits are designed with a combination of AC and DC supply,
    but the DC supply must be lower than the AC supply. To solve a clipper circuit one
    must apply KVL around a loop. Clipper circuits are of two kinds: Series Clipper and
    Parallel Clipper
    Series Clipper Circuits (Circuit 01)
    Series Clipper Circuits (Circuit 02)
    Series Clipper Circuits (Circuit 03)
    Series Clipper Circuits (Circuit 04)
    Parallel Clipper Circuits (Circuit 01)
    Parallel Clipper Circuits (Circuit 02)
    Parallel Clipper Circuits (Circuit 03)
