Scientific Notes on Power Electronics: Introduction to Limiter Circuits
A limiter circuit – also called amplitude discriminator (slicer) – is similar to a simple half-wave rectifier, except that the output signal is the voltage drop across the diode rather than across the resistor. The second novelty is represented by a battery connected in series to the diode.
