Limiter

Definition: Limiter

Limiter

Noun

1. (electronics) a circuit whose output is limited which serves to limits the amplitude of a waveform or clip off the peaks.

Date "limiter" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1380. (references)

Domain	Definitions
Aerospace	A device whose output is constant for all inputs above a predetermined value. (references)
Electrical Engineering	A circuit or stage which automatically reduces the amplification to prevent signal peaks from exceeding a predetermined level. Source: European Union. (references)
Nuclear Energy & Physics	Plate with good thermal properties inside the plasma wall defining the plasma boundary. (XII/717/75, p. 22). Source: European Union. (references)
Post & Telecom	Any device which sets, or tends to set, some boundary value or values upon a signal. In particular, a limiter may be a device which, for varying inputs below a certain instantaneous value gives a proportional output, but, for inputs whose instantaneous amplitude is higher than a predetermined value, gives a constant peak output.
