Questions and Answers

In diode circuits, what is the function of a limiter or clipper?

  • Invert the input signal waveform
  • Clip off a portion of the signal voltage without distorting the remaining part (correct)
  • Amplify the input signal for higher voltage output
  • Filter out the high frequency components of the input signal

    • What is the simplest form of diode clipper?

  • Zener diode regulator circuit
  • Full-wave rectifier with multiple diodes
  • Voltage multiplier circuit
  • Half-wave rectifier with one resistor and diode (correct)

    • How are series and parallel clippers distinguished?

  • By the configuration of the diode with respect to the load (correct)
  • By the type of semiconductor material used in the diodes
  • By the number of diodes used in the circuit
  • By the frequency of the input signal they can handle
