SLLSFU1A December 2023 – July 2024 MCF8315C
PRODMIX
Low-side braking mode is configured by setting MTR_STOP to 010b. When a motor stop command is received, the output speed is reduced to a value defined by BRAKE_SPEED_THRESHOLD prior to turning all low-side MOSFETs ON (see example Figure 6-45) for a time configured by MTR_STOP_BRK_TIME. If the motor speed is below BRAKE_SPEED_THRESHOLD prior to receiving stop command, then the MCF8315C transitions directly into the brake state. After applying the brake for MTR_STOP_BRK_TIME, the MCF8315C transitions into the Hi-Z state by turning OFF all MOSFETs.
The MCF8315C can also enter low-side braking through BRAKE pin input. When BRAKE pin is pulled to HIGH state, the output speed is reduced to a value defined by BRAKE_SPEED_THRESHOLD prior to turning all low-side MOSFETs ON. In this case, MCF8315C stays in low-side brake state till BRAKE pin changes to LOW state.
