L298N DUAL FULL-BRIDGE DRIVER

L298N – Dual Full-Bridge Motor Driver IC

📄 **Description:

The L298N** is a high-voltage, high-current dual full-bridge driver IC designed to drive inductive loads such as DC motors, stepper motors, relays, and solenoids. It can independently control two DC motors or one stepper motor and is capable of driving loads up to 46V at 2A per channel.

Internally, the L298N features two H-Bridge drivers with TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or STM32. It includes built-in diode protection, thermal shutdown, and separate logic and motor supply inputs, ensuring safe and reliable operation in various embedded applications.
