    This document introduces diode clippers and limiters. It describes the two general categories of clippers which use either a DC source or resistor. It then outlines the types of series and parallel clippers, including simple, biased, positive, and negative variants. Applications of clippers mentioned include separating synchronizing signals, removing ripples in FM transmitters, generating or shaping waveforms, protecting transistors, and using as half-wave or full-wave rectifiers in power supplies. In closing, it notes that clippers can also function as voltage limiters and amplitude selectors.
