SLLSFV1 March 2025 MCF8329A-Q1
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 MCF8329A-Q1 allows current to circulate within the external 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 6-38) or high-side recirculation (see Figure 6-39) will be used to stop the motor without sending the inductive energy back to the DC input supply.
