Large voice coil driver

Large voice coil driver

(OP)
Can anyone give me a quick overview of "Hysteresis Mode Switching", commonly used for driving large voice coils with an H-bridge?

I understand that switching frequency changes with error--is this the only difference between this and more conventional PWM control using an H-bridge?

How does a hysteresis mode switch device handle regeneration of energy stored in an inductive load?  Does it 'slow' decay through FETs and/or FET body diodes, or does it shunt inductive energy back to the DC bus?
