Description
The L298N motor driver module is a compact, dual H-bridge driver that allows for independent control of two DC motors or one stepper motor. Designed around the L298N chip, this module supports a motor voltage range from 5V to 35V and can deliver up to 2 amps of current per channel. It features four input pins (IN1–IN4) for direction control, two enable pins (ENA and ENB) for speed regulation via PWM signals, and a built-in 5V voltage regulator that can power a connected microcontroller if the input voltage is 12V or less. Its durable design and ease of use make it a popular choice for hobbyists building robotic cars, automated systems, and other motion-control projects.
Features
- Dual H-Bridge Design: Controls two DC motors independently or one stepper motor.
- Wide Voltage Range: Supports motor power supply from 5V up to 35V.
- High Current Output: Provides up to 2A continuous current per channel (with heat sink).
- PWM Speed Control: ENA and ENB pins allow for precise speed adjustment using Pulse Width Modulation.
- Direction Control: IN1–IN4 pins determine the direction of motor rotation.
- Built-in 5V Regulator: Supplies 5V output (when input voltage is ≤12V), which can power a microcontroller.
- Thermal Protection: Includes a heat sink to dissipate heat and protect against overheating.
- Screw Terminals: Easy connection for motors and power supply.
- Logic Voltage Compatibility: Works with 5V logic levels, making it Arduino-friendly.
