So I am working on a soft limiter problem where I am supposed to plot V_out vs V_in. I have the answer in front of me but I have no idea where the answer came from.
What I know how to get so far is the middle section of the graph. When the voltage is low the diodes act like a short and all you are left with is an inverting amplifier.
What I don't know how to get is where the limiting takes place. This limiter is symmetrical so it should just be a mirror image on the positive and negative ends. I don't understand how the slope of V_out vs V_in is determined and at what value the limiting takes place.
Thanks for your help!
