DRV8231: Decay mode for solenoid

Part Number: DRV8231

Hello team,

My customer is considering DRV8231 for driving solenoid.

My customer is wondering which decay mode should they use, slow decay (Brake) or fast decay (coast)?

I understand the benefit of fast decay becuase it will decay faster, but is there any benefits of chosing slow decay instead?
If there is no benefit in choosing slow decay, I will tell my customer to use fast decay.

Best Regards,
Kei Kuwahara
