One application of the diodes is to build a clipper circuit which is used to shape the signal waveform by clipping or cutting either a portion of the positive half or negative or both halves of the signal. Write down some other Uses & Applications of the Diodes? Design a clipper circuit with positive and negative amplitudes clipped with biasing to clip the negative signal to V₁ and clip the positive signal to V₂. Where: 80 V₁ = -3 -0.01 x your last two digits of your university ID- V₂ = 2 + 0.01 x your last two digits of your university ID Design procedure: 1. Draw the schematic diagram for the circuit to be analyzed. 2. Mathematically analyze the circuit and predict the behavior of the circuit under a variety of conditions. 3. Verify the design by simulating the circuit. Carefully measure all voltages and currents, to verify the accuracy of your analysis. 4. Describe the characteristics of the circuit and how it's different in practice from the 'ideal' devices.
