Audio Clipper with Zener Diodes

Das Szenario

An audio signal needs to be limited to prevent clipping in subsequent stages. A symmetrical Zener clipper is placed after an input source to cap both positive and negative excursions.

Was diese Zeichnung zeigt

Die dahinterstehenden Entscheidungen verstehen.

01

Two back-to-back Zener diodes for symmetrical clipping

02

4.7V Zeners set the clipping threshold (Vz + forward drop)

03

Series resistor limits current during clipping

Use when you need a simple, passive, symmetrical audio level limiter with a sharp clipping threshold and moderate impedance.
