Single Diode Positive Clipping circuit Calculator

This CalcTown calculator calculates peak Positive and negative voltages when an input signal is passed through a Single Diode Positive Clipper circuit.

*Please enter cutoff voltage for the diode as 0.7 V if nothing is given.

*The peak negative voltage is the same as that of the input.

The diode is turned on only at V_input=V_B+V_λwhere

V_B=Voltage of the battery
V_λ=Cut-off voltage of the diode
