Drawbacks of Series Diode Clippers?

Description : Drawbacks of Series Diode Clippers?

Last Answer : In series clippers, when diode is in ‘off’ position, there should be no transmission of input signal to output. But in case of high frequency signals transmission occurs through diode capacitance which is undesirable. This is the drawback of using diode as a series element in such clippers.

Explain Clipping using Zener Diode?

Description : Explain Clipping using Zener Diode?

Last Answer : one or two zener diodes are used to clip the voltage VIN. In the first circuit, the voltage is clipped to the reverse breakdown voltage of the zener diode. In the second, it is limited to the reverse breakdown voltage plus the voltage drop across one zener diode.

What do you mean by a precision diode?

Description : What do you mean by a precision diode?

Last Answer : The major limitation of ordinary diode is that it cannot rectify voltages below the cut – in voltage of the diode. A circuit designed by placing a diode in the feedback loop of an op – amp is called the precision diode and it is capable of rectifying input signals of the order of millivolt.
