L298N 2-way Dual H-Bridge DC Driver Module

Description

1. Dual H-Bridge Configuration: The L298N module features two H-bridges, allowing it to control two separate motors independently. Each H-bridge can drive a single DC motor or a stepper motor.
2. High Current and Voltage Support: This module can handle relatively high currents (up to 2A per channel) and is suitable for driving a wide range of motors. It can also work with motors operating at different voltage levels (usually 7V to 35V).
3. Built-in Protection Diodes: The module includes flyback diodes (also known as freewheeling diodes) to protect against reverse voltage spikes generated by inductive loads like motors. This helps to safeguard the module and connected components.
4. Direction and Speed Control: It allows you to control the direction of motor rotation (forward and reverse) and adjust the motor speed by varying the input signals to the H-bridges. You can use PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) to control the motor speed.
5. Logical and Power Supply Isolation: The L298N module has separate input pins for logic control (5V) and motor power supply (up to 35V). This separation ensures that the logic circuits and motors operate at their respective voltage levels.
6. Enable Pins: Each H-bridge has an enable pin that can be used to turn the motor on and off, which can be useful for power-saving or motor braking.
7. Versatile Applications: This module is widely used in robotics, remote-controlled vehicles, CNC machines, 3D printers, and any application where motor control is needed.
8. Heat Sink: Some L298N modules come with a heat sink to help dissipate heat generated during motor operation. This is especially useful when driving motors at high currents.
