Step 5: Enable ASR [EN_ASR] and AAR [EN_AAR] and configure PWM Mode [PWM_MODE] to Single ended
mode.

Please note that enabling ASR when AAR is disabled might results in loss of Sync.

4.3.11 Mitigating Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Please follow the below recommendations to mitigate EMI in your system.

Step 1: Decrease gate driver Slew rate [SLEW_RATE]

Please note that decreasing Slew rate will increase power dissipation due to switching losses.

Step 2: Enable Spread spectrum Modulation [SSM_CONFIG]

4.3.12 Improving Motor efficiency

Please follow below recommendations to improve the motor efficiency.

Step 1: Configure PWM Mode [PWM_MODE] to Single ended mode. In this mode, switching losses are lower
compared to Complementary mode.

Step 2: In closed loop, set the motor speed to the desired operating load-speed region. Set the lead angle
polarity [LD_ANGLE_POLARITY] and tune the lead Angle [LD_ANGLE] in both directions till minimum motor
phase current is achieved.

Note: The optimal lead angle value changes with speed and torque. The same lead angle need not be
applicable for best efficiency in the entire range of speed-load curve operation.
