In forward or reverse mode the current-control circuitry limits
the load current as follows: when the load current reaches I
the comparator resets a latch that turns off the selected source
driver or selected sink and source driver pair depending on
whether the device is operating in slow or fast current-decay
mode, respectively.
In slow current-decay mode, the selected source driver is
disabled; the load inductance causes the current to recirculate
through the sink driver and ground clamp diode. In fast current-
decay mode, the selected sink and source driver pair are
disabled; the load inductance causes the current to flow from
ground to the load supply via the ground clamp and flyback
diodes.

At the end of the RC interval, the drivers are enabled allowing
the load current to increase again. The PWM cycle repeats,

turns off both source drivers and turns on both sink drivers. For
dc motor applications, this has the effect of shorting the motor
back-EMF voltage resulting in current flow that dynamically
brakes the motor. If the back-EMF voltage is large, and there
is no PWM current limiting, the load current can increase to a
value that approaches that of a locked rotor condition. To limit
the current, when the I
disables the conducting sink drivers. The energy stored in the
motor inductance is discharged into the load supply causing the
motor current to decay.
As in the case of forward/reverse operation, the drivers are
