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 MCT8316A-Q1 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.
If high-side modulation was active, prior to motor stop command, then the high-side MOSFET is turned OFF on receiving motor stop command and the current recirculation takes place through low-side MOSFET (see example Figure 6-40). Once the recirculation time lapses, the low-side MOSFET also turns OFF and all MOSFETs are in Hi-Z state.
If low-side modulation was active, prior to motor stop command, then the low-side MOSFET is turned OFF on receiving motor stop command and the current recirculation takes place through high-side MOSFET (see example Figure 6-41). Once the recirculation time lapses, the high-side MOSFET also turns OFF and all MOSFETs are in Hi-Z state
