ZHCSOS0C august 2021 – june 2023 MCF8316A
PRODUCTION DATA
Recirculation mode is configured by setting MTR_STOP to 001b. In order to prevent the inductive energy from returning to DC input supply during motor stop, the MCF8316A allows current to circulate within the MOSFETs by selectively turning OFF some of the active (ON) MOSFETs for a certain time (auto calculated recirculation time to allow the inductive current to decay to zero) before transitioning into Hi-Z by turning OFF the remaining MOSFETs.
Depending on the phase voltage pattern at the time of receiving the stop command, either low-side (see Figure 7-41) or high-side recirculation (see Figure 7-42) will be used to stop the motor without sending the inductive energy back to the DC input supply.
