Diode Circuits: Limiters, Clippers, and Clampers

The purpose of diode circuits called limiters or clippers is to remove or "clip" a portion of an input signal, restricting it to a predetermined level.
The simplest form of diode clipper is a single diode clipper, which consists of a diode, a resistor, and a DC voltage source.
Clippers are categorized into two general categories: series clippers and shunt clippers.
A diode circuit called a clamper is used to shift the DC level of an input signal to a desired level, without changing its AC characteristics.
A series configuration clipper is a type of clipper that connects the diode in series with the input signal and the load, allowing the diode to control the output voltage.
