Common Mode Choke Application
The very high currents and high speeds inside the DEIC515 create very large transients. To avoid problems with
false triggering, the input to the DEIC515 should be supplied via a common mode choke. This is a simple tri-filar
winding on a small ferrite core. This prevents high speed transients from impacting the input signal by allowing it to
follow the internal die potential changes without changing the state of the input.
