5.1 Experiment Name: Implementation of clipper circuit using diode.

5.2 Objective:

5.2.1 To Learn how to design and implement a clipper circuit using


diodes.
5.2.2 understand the use of clipper circuits in waveform shaping and
signal protection.
5.2.3 To observe the output waveform and compare it with the input.

5.3 Components Required:

1. Bread board
2. Oscilloscope
3. Power Function Generator
4. Connecting Wires
5. Resistor
6. Diode
7. DC Power Supply

5.4 Theory:

A clipper circuit is used to remove or "clip" a portion of the input waveform


without distorting the remaining part. It uses a diode to block voltage
beyond a certain level. When the input voltage exceeds a certain
threshold, the diode becomes forward-biased and conducts, thus clipping
the voltage. Depending on the orientation of the diode and the use of
biasing, we can create positive, negative, or biased clipper circuits.
Working Principle:

The op-amp is set up in an inverting configuration. When multiple voltages are


fed through resistors into the inverting input, the op-amp sums the currents caused
by these voltages. Using the concept of virtual ground, the op-amp adjusts its
output to maintain zero voltage at the inverting terminal, thus producing an output
that is the weighted negative sum of the input voltages.

5.7 Discussion:

In this experiment, the diode-based clipper circuit worked effectively to clip the
input waveform as expected. At first, we successfully demonstrated clipping for
both the positive and negative parts of the signal. However, we did encounter a few
challenges, such as incorrect diode orientation, loose connections on the
breadboard, and an unclear waveform display on the oscilloscope. After carefully
making adjustments, the output waveform matched the theoretical expectation
quite closely. The small differences we observed were mainly due to the diode's
forward voltage drop and the natural tolerances of the components. Overall, the
experiment was a success and provided valuable hands-on learning.
