Electronic Devices & CircuitsClippers & Clampers

In a positive biased diode clipper, the clipping level is primarily determined by?

  • AOnly the input frequency
  • BThe bias voltage together with the diode forward drop
  • COnly the load resistance
  • DThe transistor beta
Report an error
Correct Answer: B. The bias voltage together with the diode forward drop
Explanation: In a biased clipper, conduction begins when the input reaches a level set by the DC bias plus or minus the diode forward drop, depending on circuit orientation.
