L298N is a high voltage, high current motor driver chip. The chip uses 15-pin package. The main features are: high voltage, maximum operating voltage up to 46V; output current, instantaneous peak current up to 3A, continuous operating current of 2A; rated power 25W. Contains two H-bridge high-voltage and high current full-bridge driver can be used to drive DC motors and stepper motors, relays, coils and other inductive load; using standard logic level signal control; having two enable control terminal, in allows input signal without being affected or disable the device has a logic supply input, the internal logic circuit part of the work at a low voltage; can be an external sense resistor, the amount of change back to the control circuit. Drive motor using L298N chip, the chip can drive a two-phase stepper motors or four-phase stepper motor, can drive two DC motors. 1.The module uses L298N chip as the main drive, with driving ability, low heat, anti-jamming features. 2.It can be used to take power through the built-in 78M05 drive power part of the work, but in order to avoid damage to the regulator chip, when a drive voltage greater than 12V, please use an external 5V logic supply. 3. Uses high-capacity filter capacitors, freewheeling diode protection, reliability can be improved. The L298N is a dual H-bridge motor driver that is commonly used to control the speed and direction of DC motors and stepper motors. It is a popular choice for robotics and other applications that require precise control of motors. The L298N is a type of integrated circuit (IC) that consists of two H-bridge circuits, which are used to control the direction and speed of DC motors. Each H-bridge circuit can control a single DC motor, or the two H-bridges can be used together to control a single stepper motor. The L298N can be controlled using a microcontroller or other digital device, and it can operate at a voltage range of 5-46V. The L298N is a widely used motor driver that is known for its reliability and performance. It is often used in robotics, automative applications, and other systems that require precise control of motors.
