Ok, I know all of us here read every bit we can on our devices, Phantoms, and all the goodies that go into the technology, but, BUT I didn't know this, directly copied off of DJIs website and they go on to talk about the P4 specifically.
Here's what's on the site:
Active Braking
DJI ESCs support Active Braking, a feature that increases agility and conserves energy. Put plainly, what Active Braking does is to increase the motor's voltage when braking is initiated so that the time and distance before the aircraft slows to a hover is minimized. While the braking is happening, the motor is automatically put into generator mode so that instead of its mechanical energy being turned into heat energy and going to waste, it is turned into electric energy that is sent back to the battery, charging it up.
The Active Braking feature increases flight performance and efficiency. To further increase the agility and responsiveness of the aircraft, DJI ESCs run at high frequencies that more accurately translates the pilot's control signals to instructions sent to the motors so that flight is smooth and response immediate.
