A Limiter , by the action of a diode and its biasing will pass signals to its out put. A positive limiter will completely limit the positive portion of an AC waveform. A Negative Limter will limit the negative portion of a wave form. To truelly understand this concept, you must fully understand diodes and how they are Forward Biased and Reversed Biased. When A diode is Forward Biased, meaning that the Anode is more positive than the Cathode, the diode acts as a short and when a diode is reversed biased, it will act as an open, no current flow. A juntion diode by design will only allow current to flow from cathode to anode.
A Clamper circuit uses a capacitor, resistor and a diode to fix an ac waveform to a DC level. This is accomplished by the quick charging of a Capacitor through a diode but the discharge path is through a large resistor. Due to RC time contants, the capictor is not geven enough time to discharge befor the next charge arrives thus acting as a voltage doubler. TC= Time Contant = Resistance in Ohms times the Capacitance in Farrads that is measured in seconds. It takes 5 TC's to fully charge. By adding a DC Bias, we are now able to set a newclamping point other that the 0 Volt reference.

Effect of shorting out the capacitor in a clamping circuit?
Any circuit using a capacitor will not work if the cap is short-circuited.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of clipping circuit?
In what context? Assuming signal transmission, the main disadvantage of a clipping circuit is that the data transmitted at values outside the circuit's range will be "clipped" (for example, if the clipping value is 20V, and the signal is 23V, the output will be 20V). This is esp. visible with audio circuits, and with electron tube circuits in general. The main advantage, at any rate, would be that a clipping circuit would serve as, say, an overvoltage protection for sensitive devices. But that is a bit of guessing on my part. If the circuit (or circuits) are to be designed properly, I would say that a bridging circuit should be built instead - a circuit that would "shake hands" between two other circuits, bringing their respective levels to a level common for both, or by translating between the two.
Can you use a capacitor instead of zener diode in biased clipping circuit?
No. The purpose of the zener diode is to clip (turn on) at a certain voltage. A capacitor will not exhibit this behavior.

How does read-out integrated circuit works?
Read out integrated circuit refers to integrated circuit specifically used for reading detectors of a particular type. These are used in detectors where the sensitivity is very low and using a discrete circuit may not be useful as noise may be large enough to cover up whole signal.
What is the difference between limiting and clamping circuit?
A diode-clipping circuit is used to skip some portion of the signal (e.g. the half way/full way rectifiers rectify the '-ve' or '+ve' part of the signal). A diode-clamping circuit is used to add some signals to the original signal.

What is the Clipping circuit transfer function?
Transfer function is the relationship between output and input of a circuit. In the clipping circuit, the general transfer function is such that the transfer curve Av is less than 1 for passive limiter and greater than 0 to limit the maximum and minimum voltage value.
Why clipper circuit is use?
A: SIGNAL could overshoot a value which can damage the input or output therefore a diode is used to clip these signals to a safe level
