A clipper circuit containing resistors R1, R2, a diode, and a DC source V1 is fed by a sinusoidal voltage Vin = V0 sin(ωt). Assume that the cut-in voltage of the diode is 0.7 V and V1 is a positive DC voltage smaller than V0. If the diode is connected in series with R2 across the output in a standard biased clipper configuration, which one of the following statements is true about the output voltage Vout?
- 1The negative part of Vout is restricted to a maximum voltage of 0.7 + R1R1 + R2 V1
- 2The positive part of Vout is restricted to a maximum voltage of 0.7 + R1R1 + R2 V1
- 3The negative part of Vout is restricted to a maximum voltage of 0.7 + R2R1 + R2 V1
- 4The positive part of Vout is restricted to a maximum voltage of 0.7 + R2R1 + R2 V1✓
Correct answer
The positive part of Vout is restricted to a maximum voltage of 0.7 + R2R1 + R2 V1
