Experiment No.6
Clipper and Clamper
Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the operation
of diode clipping and clamping circuits.
Theory
In addition to the use of diodes as rectifiers, there are a
number of other interesting applications. For example, diodes
are frequently used in applications such as wave-shaping,
detectors, voltage multipliers, switching circuits, protection
circuits, and mixers. In this experiment, we will investigate two
widely used applications of diode circuits, namely diode clipping
circuits and diode clamping circuits

Procedure:
1. Connect the biased series clipping circuit shown in Fig and
apply a 6Vpp sinusoidal input waveform with frequency of 1
kHz at the input. Display and sketch the input and the output
waveforms.
2. Connect the biased parallel clipping circuit shown in Fig. and
apply a 6Vpp sinusoidal input waveform with frequency of
1kHz at the input. Display and sketch the input and the
output waveforms.
3. Connect two biases level clippers as shown in the fig and
apply 6 vp sinusoidal input waveform with frequency of 1
kHz at the input. Display and sketch the input and the
output waveforms
4. Connect the clamping circuit shown in Fig and apply a
10Vpp sinusoidal input waveform with frequency of 1
kHz at the input. Display and sketch the input and the
output waveforms
Comments :
1. Bias source affect waveform in Clipper circuit as a cut in the wave
.2. Clamper circuit is an electronic circuit that shifts the DC level of a
signal without changing the shape of its waveform. It moves the
whole signal either up or down about the reference level .
