L298N Motor Driver Module
The L298N motor driver module is a popular dual H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit that facilitates the control of DC motors and stepper motors.
-
Motor Types: Suitable for controlling DC motors and bipolar stepper motors.
-
Voltage Range: Typically operates with a motor supply voltage ranging from 5V to 35V.
-
Current Handling: Can handle peak currents up to 2A per bridge (or 4A with proper heat sinking).
-
Logic Voltage: Supports low-level logic signals (TTL/CMOS) for control, typically driven by a microcontroller.
-
Control Modes: Offers forward, reverse, brake, and standby control modes for motor direction and speed.
-
Built-in Protection: Built-in diodes provide protection against back electromotive force (EMF) generated by the motors.
-
Heat Sink: Some modules include a built-in heat sink to dissipate heat generated during operation.
-
Enable Pins: Enable pins allow for easy on/off control of each motor independently.
-
Versatility: Widely used in robotics, mechatronics, and various motor control applications.
-
Compact Design: Compact module with screw terminals for easy motor and power supply connections.
-
Applications: Commonly used in DIY projects, robotics, and automation for motor control.
-
PWM Compatibility: Supports Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for speed control of DC motors.
-
Current Sensing: Some models may include current sensing capabilities for feedback control.
