Week #4: Diode Clippers, Clampers, Voltage Multipliers & Zener Diodes

[rjagodowski]

We will begin this week with the discussion presented here in Week #3 on diode applications. Then we will discuss diode Clipper and Clamper circuits, Voltage Multipliers and Zener Diodes.

Zener Diodes

We will spend a few minutes discussing the Clippers & Clampers lab experiment for this week which can be found here.

Here's a brief tutorial on Scope Probes 1X/10X which include a brief video on the operation of the probes and the effects on the input impedance of the scope when changing between 1X and 10X.

We will also revisit the Excel sheet for Lab #1 and creating the Diode FB and RB graphs.
