Applications of Diodes
Clippers.
Clampers.
Peak Detectors.
Voltage Multipliers.
Simple Logic Gates.
DC Power Supply.
Filtering Circuits.
Clippers, limiters or clipping circuits make use of non-linear properties of diode, that is the diode conduct the current in forward direction and does not conduct in reverse direction.
Basic operating Principle:
These circuits are primarily are wave shaping circuits.
They clip or remove certain portion of ac voltage applied to the input of circuit.
Applications of Clippers:
They need to clip the voltage above or below a certain pre-determined voltage level arises in the television, digital computers, radar, and many other electronic circuits.
