Study resources
- Neso Academy - Analog Electronics: Clippers (Series & Shunt/Parallel) (Video) — Covers series and shunt clipper circuits, biased clippers, and combination clippers that clip a waveform at two independent levels.
- CircuitBread - Using Diodes as Clippers or Clampers (Article) — Beginner-friendly tutorial explaining series vs parallel (shunt) clipper configurations and how two-level clipping is achieved with biased diodes.
- Diode Clipping Circuits and Diode Clipper (Article) — Works through positive, negative, biased and two-level clippers with input and output waveforms side by side. 'Clipping at two independent levels' is the double-diode circuit shown near the end.
- Clipper Circuits - All About Circuits textbook (Article) — Same circuits but with simulated waveforms and the 0.7 V diode drop accounted for. Shows exactly how to compute where a two-level clipper clips, which is the usual numerical.
