What is Clipper Circuit?
The Clipper Circuit prevents the output waveform from exceeding the certain level and at the same time, it does not distort the reaming part of the waveform.
Application of Clipper Circuit
The Clipper Circuits are used in the wave-shaping circuit and the voltage protection circuit.
Types of Clipper Circuit
Depending on which portion of the waveform (Positive or Negative) is clipped, the clipper circuit can be classified as
1) Positive Clipper Circuit
2) Negative Clipper Circuit
Further depending on the placement of the diode the clipper circuit can be classified as
1) Series Clipper Circuit
2) Parallel Clipper Circuit
In this video, both series and parallel clipper circuits (with and without biasing voltage) have been discussed and few examples based on the clipper circuit has been solved.

perfect video better then my teacher..
thanks alot
Well this guy certainly knows about clipping. You can hear it in the audio.
Lmao 😂
i have exam tom and i am laughing everytime he says "it will turn on"
Seeing this video on November 10 th the day before my semester examination
Mein bas itna kahunga
Charan kahaan hai aapkeeeee ........
Informative and very straightforward. Keep up the good work!

I watched many videos of yours, they are awesome. I'll recommend these forever.
You are doing well kuch teachers hain even they are highly graduated after that they can't explain simply as like you thanx a lot 🌷
I may have learned something
But I have learned "during this time" a lot more
you know you are very underated
today i found your channel and yes subscribed it too.
helped me a lot
Studying this one night before an interview 😂
Brilliant way of teaching...hats off
Coming here before one day exam of EDC
Watching in exam hall😎
@@abdulmustafeed super
Sir, if it is possible for you then please playlist for all the topics. It is hard to search all topics separately. But if you arrange them in a playlist then it would get easy for us access your content.
It is already added in diode and diode circuit playlist. You can check it on the playlist page.
Who is watching this the night before the exam! 😃
@@Munsaham_11 im watching this video few hours before exam 😂😆
I m here after learning that this is in AIIMS mbbs entrance syllabus
Now it won't , cuz it's combined with neet
thanks a lot sir definitely solved a lot of doubts and cleared a lot of misconceptions . keep up the work.
for the first example i dont understand why the zeiner diode turn to an short circuit ( instead of open circuit ) when Vin < 0v ???
today i m just watching this video , tommarow will my end sem exam ......
Watching Before going to exam 😅
Me who studying it before half hour of exam....... Engineer wali feeling aa rhi h 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Can someone please explain the last example? I did not get it :((
Your video contents are good sir, but beginners will have many questions and doubts while watching your videos. Instead of explaining simply what is given in the textbook like a robot, explain more clearly by adding why this is clipping at this voltage etc.
Explain in detail sir.
Thanks a lot... Your the best.
why is the condition Vin
this video very helping for understanding clippers circuit.. many thanks
I have been looking for this for so long thanks
15:50
Why will it get forward biased?????
It should be reverse biased and should act like an open circuit !!
Please someone explain!!
The input is triangular wave and it is gradually increasing to 12V. But during that rise in the voltage, when the input is less than 5V, the voltage at the cathode of the diode will be less than 5V. While at the anode voltage is 5V. So, for that duration when input is less than 5V, the diode will get forward biased (considering ideal diode). And for that time it will conduct. That means when Vin < 5V, Vout = 5V.
I hope it will clear your doubt.
At 14:08, Should the sign of zener diode not be be opposite? I think you have made a mistake declaring the sign of the zener diode. Please check it and tell me if your example 1 is correct or not
When the Zener diode operates in the breakdown region, then the voltage across it is equal to the Zener voltage. The polarity is correct. For more info, please check this video on Zener Diode: ua-cam.com/video/MZPeRlst8rQ/v-deo.htmlsi=f3Nb-aHyhqGYlhw_
Good explanation
Very good , calm and full of concepts vedio....excellent work
11 hours student like here
Next day you will be passed best of luck
Nice explanation
3:40 sir no effects on positive half cycle will be seen for non ideal diode?
No, there won't be any effect during the positive half cycle. Because if you see, during the positive half cycle, the diode remains in the reverse bias condition.
I hope it will clear your doubt.
@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS Thank a lot sir
one of the best
12:43 series clipper with biasing , the signal not get clipped , it get smaller form .why?
The series clipper circuit clips the certain portion of the waveform (in time domain), much like a rectifier. Similar to the rectifier circuit, here the diode will conduct when the voltage across the anode of the diode is more than cathode. And during the ON time of the diode, the output voltage is Vin - V (assuming ideal diode for a moment). That is why you are seeing the reduced voltage during the conduction of the diode. I hope, it will clear your doubt.
Watching this at night before exam and I got to know that much thing which I couldn't during whole semester..
Studying this on the exam day morning 😂
love how the audio in this video is also clipping
lmao fr
I saw the vedio before my exam 🤧
at 4:30 wont R affect the voltage at all? how can we directly compare V and Vin
It restricts the flow of current through diode. When the diode is conducting, then remaining voltage will drop across this resistor. (e.g Vin - V will drop across the resistor, when diode is conducting.) I hope, it will clear your doubt.
Thanks sir it help so much
Studying one hour before exam🫠
You can tell me , why In the parallel clipper ckt, when +ve half cycle is applying in the ckt the ckt work as a short ckt ? What is the working of resister her ?
The R is the current limiting resistor. And here during the analysis, it has been assumed that the diode is ideal. That means when it conducts it acts as a short circuit. But actually in the output when the diode is conducting, the voltage would be around 0.7V.
I hope it will clear your doubt.
Nice presentation
Studying an hour before exam.
2:47 why Vo is not 0 here?? There is resistance but no voltage drop
Since diode acts as open circuit, so there is no current through the diode. ( Considering ideal diode). And since, diode is open, so circuit will not get completed and hence no current through the circuit. So even though there is a resistor in series with voltage source, but there will not be any voltage drop across it. And hence, Vo = Vin during that negative half cycle. I hope it will clear your doubt.
Eg 2 is contradictory to what u explain earlier.when Vi5V then Vout=Vin-5V. Please explain this.
In example 2, when Vin
Now I’ll understand. Thank u 😊
I'm getting used to THE.... cadenceoftheseprentations.
lmfaoooooooo
Does all the clipper clamper circuit have zener diode? Coz i needs input voltage more than diode activation voltage
You can also use additional voltage source (with diode) to clip or clamp the waveform at the desired level.
At 7:53 when V in
When Vin is between V1 and -V2 both diodes are reversed biased.
If you see, the diode D1 will conduct, when the voltage at the anode is greater than V1.
Similarly, diode D2 will conduct when the voltage at the cathode is less than -V2.
That means when the input voltage is in between V1 and -V2, both diodes will be reversed biased.
I hope it will clear your doubt.
very nice
But consfused regarding zener voltage problem
Thanks sir nice and simple
11:33
It shouldn't be (Vin)-V>0.7?
Please explain Sir!!
Here the diode is assumed as an ideal diode. If it's not, then yes, Vin - V should be greater than 0.7V.
In example 2 when the Vin less than 5V the Vout is 5V ..I have some doubt in that part .Is there is no effect for Vin in Vout when the Vin less than 5V .I think Vout =5V -Vin when Vin is less than 5V..? Pliz clarify this part..
The input signal plays role in turning on or off the diode. (Here it has been assumed that the diode is ideal diode). Depending on the conduction of the diode, the output will change.
Vout is the output across the one terminal of the diode and reference node. You can simply find that voltage by applying the KVL.
You can also simulate the same circuit and check the result by yourself.
Studying in day of exam😌🤣
Bro ❤❤ thanks
😅nov 14th, Tomorrow's exam for me
thank you
Thanks a lot
How to find the Current across resistor
In 9:19 circuit
The current through resistor R is (Vin - Vo )/ R.
At 9:19, Vo = -V2.
So, accordingly, you can calculate the current.

Thank you soo much for your reply
Why clippers are used in tv receivers
Hlo sir
Does the diode in all types of clippers acts like a switch?
As its name suggest, it clips the input signal. When diode conducts, the voltage drop across diode is 0.7V. And in this way, it restricts the input voltage.
@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS sir I didn't get it
how you edit your videos?
Good lecture sir keep on upload the videos
Could not Example 2 😢
0.7volt is shown in time axis?
hi, for example 2, i got the reverse version of your graph ie. my pulse was on the negative side, is this fine? I assumed this was because the direction I chose to be my positive and negative cycles were opposite to yours. Does this matter?
bro I am also facing the same problem...so do help me out if u got the reason to it
6:00 why output should be constant after V ? I mean as the current through the diode increases the voltage should also increase following it's I-V characteristic curve
During the entire discussion, the diode is considered as the ideal diode. Yes, what you are saying is true in the case of the actual diode, where the diode also has forward resistance.
I hope it will clear your doubt.
@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS got it...thank you very much sir...
sir you hàve taken àll diodes ideal in series circuit?
Yes.
thanks bro
is it me or his vioce sounds different the whole time
I wish native english speakers made more videos on this cuz mi lass idu a word hes saying
sir last k dono example paralllel k lg rhe the to series k concepts kyu lga h
Studying on the day of exam 😅😅😂
Thanks a lot sir,u r explanation with examples help me a lot
Sir, at 10:22 how will the zeners work the same way?
During positive half cycle one zener will work as normal diode while the second one will work as zener diode. So, it will clip the waveform at vz+ 0.7 v. Similarly on the negative side, the voltage will be clipped at (-Vz + 0.7)V. By selecting the proper value of Vz, the circuit can be used for the clipping the waveform at the desired level.
@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS thanks Sir/Mam, i understood that by browsing other sources as well, but thanks for your reply, it solidified my understanding.👍
Great explanations
Hi there, thanks for the informative video! Can I check why the Vin need not be larger than (0.7 + 0.5)V? To account for ideal diode voltage + bias voltage. Why is it only accounting for bias voltage (0.5) ?
If you've found the answer, pls do share with me
thankyou sir for such a nice explanation
Guys, in parallel clipper circuit in reverse bias the voltage is not zero..... Whereas in series clipper circuit in reverse bias the voltage is not zero na .....why? Like this can anyone explain me
If diode is silicon diode..out voltage how
Thank You :)
Sir in circuit 6:47 what graph when we reverse V attach to diode
The Vout = -V, when Vin > (-V)
And Vo = Vin, when Vin < -V
about the last one....how does it V less than 5 V diode able to conduct?
When the input is less than 5V, then the cathode of the diode is at less than 5V, while the anode is at 5V, so the diode will conduct.
Positive side of graph is why first taken in side of forward side why it is not taken in reverse side
Sir pls explain in more easy terms coz u are unable to clear some doubts
If you have any doubt please let me know here. I will try to resolve it.
nice simple
Excellent man 🙏🙏
