Three-phase inverter with or without flyback diode?
BOdy diode must conduct forward current for time constant T=L/DCR for DC resistance of coil.

Since your input Imax is 7A and  spec Idc max is 3.5A with 96A pulse, I must presume your motor T=L/R is ~ &lt;1ms so energy is low enough to handle. (E=0.5LI^2 * T)  at first glance.

However deadtime in commutation must exceed reverse recovery time to prevent shootthru due to layout inductance and diode capacitance.

EDIT

The deadtime requirement here is due to inductive load L/R =T and thus VI*T energy in body diode.  Where with a resistive load, it is the diode recover time which is much lower.



While effects of reverse recovery can be minimized by choosing a MOSFET with a body diode that has a low reverse recovery charge (QRR) and fast reverse recovery time (tRR) or by using an external Schottky diode with low QRR.
