   Choppers

A chopper circuit is used to refer to numerous types of electronic switching devices and circuits. The term has become somewhat ill-defined, and as a result is much less used nowadays than it was perhaps 30 or more years ago.

Essentially, a chopper is an electronic switch that is used to interrupt one signal under the control of another. Most modern uses also use alternative nomenclature which helps to clarify which particular type of circuit is being discussed. These include:

  • switched mode power supplies, including DC to DC converters.
  • Speed controllers for DC motors
  • Class D Electronic amplifiers
  • Switched capacitor filters
  • Variable Frequency Drive
