L298N Motor Driver

Description

Features:-

Driver chip: L298 dual H-bridge driver chip.
Operates up to 35V DC
Drive part of the peak current Io: 2A / Bridge
Logical part of the terminal power supply range Vss :4.5V-5.5V
Logical part of the operating current range: 0 ~ 36mA
Maximum power consumption: 20W

Pins:-

Out 1: Motor A lead out
Out 2: Motor A lead out
Out 3: Motor B lead out
Out 4: Mo (Can actually be from 5v-35v, just marked as 12v)
GND: Ground
5v: 5v input (unnecessary if your power source is 7v-35v, if the power source is 7v-35v then it can act as a 5v out)
EnA: Enables PWM signal for Motor A (Please see the “Arduino Sketch Considerations” section)
In1: Enable Motor A
In2: Enable Motor A
In3: Enable Motor B
In4: Enable Motor B
EnB: Enables PWM signal for Motor B

Usage:-

H-bridges are typically used in controlling motors speed and direction but can be used for other projects such as driving the brightness of certain lighting projects such as high powered LED arrays.
