As a safety feature for keeping the voltage of a signal below the maximum input to a particular IC (such as an analog-to-digital converter IC), clippers are used. This prevents the IC from being damaged by an accidental overvoltage.

MOSFET transistors can also be protected from excessive gate-to-drain or gate-to-source voltage by clipper circuits.

A clipper circuit is used to remove or reduce the the peak values of voltage or current that may exist within a varying value circuit. One of the most common uses is in audio recording applications where spikes (like when you making popping sounds into the microphone), would produce unwanted noise in the recording.

clipper circuits also protect people like sonarmen from having their ears destroyed by powerful sounds, e.g. underwater nuclear testing, by preventing the input to the amplifier from going over a certain level.
