00 — Overview

What the L298N does

The L298N is a dual full-bridge motor driver designed for two-phase and four-phase stepper motors. It integrates two high-voltage H-bridges to simultaneously drive two two-phase motors or one four-phase motor. The device accepts standard TTL logic signals and features internal high-temperature protection. Key specifications include a maximum supply voltage of 38V, a continuous output current of 2A per channel, and a peak current of 3A. It is typically used in electric toys and vending machines to control motor speed and direction via enable and input pins.
