8.2.1.2.3 Decay Modes

The DRV8881 supports several different decay modes: slow decay, fast decay, mixed decay, and smart tune (DRV8881E only). The current through the motor windings is regulated using an adjustable fixed-time-off scheme. This means that after any drive phase, when a motor winding current has hit the current chopping threshold (ITRIP), the DRV8881 will place the winding in one of the decay modes for TOFF. After TOFF, a new drive phase starts.
