PRODMIX
Active spin down mode is configured by setting MTR_STOP to 100b. When a motor stop command is received, the output speed is reduced to a value defined by ACT_SPIN_THR and then MCF8315C transitions to Hi-Z state by turning all MOSFETs OFF. The advantage of this mode is that by reducing motor speed, the phase currents are reduced before entering Hi-Z. Now, when the motor transitions into Hi-Z state, the energy transfer to the power supply is reduced. The threshold ACT_SPIN_THR needs to configured high enough for MCF8315C to not lose synchronization with the motor.
