Now the end of the winding will rise to the clamp level and the current will decay across the 36 volt difference between clamp voltage and BEMF.
Some time when the motor current is near 0.5 amps the switch will turn on again and the cycle will repeat. The current that drives the motor is the average current.
The motor inductance divided into the winding voltage, 6V and 36 volts respectively determines the rate of winding current change.
We now can see that we have a skewed duty cycle and, as a consequence, a skewed current waveform
A modification that would extend the capabilities of this approach would be to change the winding structure to be bifilar, incidentally converting the motor to bipolar operation. However, the chief benefit of this design change is the self-clamping of the motor voltage through the body diode of the opposite switch. This does not entirely mitigate the clamp loss; leakage inductance between the bifilar strands limits the energy recovery.
