What is the circuit in the given diagram called?(a) Clipper(b) Clamper(c) Half wave rectifier(d) Full wave rectifierThis question was posed to me in final exam.This question is from Diode Clipper and Clamper topic in section Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Right OPTION is (a) Clipper

The explanation: The circuit given above is a clipper. The diode conducts when it is forward biased, i.e, WHENEVER the input VI is greater than 5V (for ideal diode). For lower voltages, the diode does not conduct and the OUTPUT is zero.
