Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a parallel clipping circuit that limits the positive peak voltage to 8V given a sine wave input of 10V. Identify all necessary components and their values.

💡 Hint: Calculate the DC bias needed to reach the clipping level.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a series clipper is set to clip at a peak of 3V and the input fluctuates between -5V and +5V, what is the output voltage range?

💡 Hint: Consider how clipping directly affects the output signal behavior.
