I have a setup with a DC/DC converter like in the figure below. I need to minimize common mode current on the supply input.
There are no other connections besides Vsupply + and - and Rload + and -.
I'm in doubt whether a CM choke will help reducing the CM current. And how would it need to be connected to the grounds of the DC/DC and the load. I've drawn to ways to connect it, but I'm not happy with either one.
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab In this circuit the Supply is separated from the buck and the load with a CM choke. But because the CM choke is in the supply GND - load GND path, this increases the transfer impedance. (The choke is depicted by L1 and L2)
simulate this circuit With this connection, the transfer impedance issue is solved, but now the CM choke is partly in the feedback loop.
Can I use a CM choke to reduce CM currents to the supply? How? Should I use a different filter?
