DRV10970: Driving Motor at speed lower than can be achieved at 10% duty using unorthodox means.

Part Number: DRV10970

Long time reader first time poster,

I am using the DRV10970 to drive a Fallhaber 1509T006B motor. I am trying to make the motor spin as slowly as possible. At 10% duty the DRV10970 makes the motor spin at ~1000 RPM. In order to spin it slower than that I have configured an MSP430 to alternate between passing the DRV10970 an 100% and a 0% duty cycle about 150 times a second. (A pwm of a pwm in some ways). This method has allowed me to spin the motor as slowly as 150 RPM which is great.I was wondering if this would result in any damage to the DRV10970, especially if I were to do this for a long time, like for a year or two. 

Thank you,

Garrett
