Because the diode doesn't block signals at very low frequencies. Even at 1 Hz or 0.001 Hz, a small change in the voltage across the diode will cause a change in the current through it (or vice versa). That's a good indicator that there shouldn't be any series capacitor in the model of the diode. How is all this different for reverse biased?
There is, however, a fundamental problem with this simple circuit in that when the input signal is less (more negative) than the voltage being held on the capacitor, the diode will be reverse biased and the output of the op amp will be “disconnected” from the inverting input terminal.
But in the case of high frequency, RF, input signals, the diode capacitance affects the circuit operation adversely and the signal gets attenuated (that is, it passes through diode capacitance to ground). In series clippers, when the diode is in non-conducting state, there will be no transmission of input signal to output.
Fundamental capacitor circuit 90 degrees out of phase. It is said that the current leads the voltage by 90 degrees. The general plot of the voltage and current of a capacitor is shown on Figure 4. The current leads the voltage by 90 degrees. Xc has the units of Volts/Amperes or Ohms and thus it represents some type of resistance.
The capacitor may be modeled as two conducting plates separated by a dielectric as shown on Figure 2. When a voltage v is applied across the plates, a charge +q accumulates on one plate and a charge –q on the other. Figure 2. Capacitor model capacitor plates i = dq . And thus we have, dt
Capacitance represents the efficiency of charge storage and it is measured in units of Farads (F). The presence of time in the characteristic equation of the capacitor introduces new and exciting behavior of the circuits that contain them. Note that for DC (constant in time) dv signals ( = 0 ) the capacitor acts as an open circuit (i=0).
