L298N 2-way Dual H-Bridge DC Driver Module

Description

• Dual H-Bridge Design: The module features two independent H-bridge circuits, each capable of controlling one DC motor. This dual design enables the module to control two motors simultaneously, making it suitable for projects that involve differential drive systems, robot platforms, and more.
• Bidirectional Motor Control: The H-bridge configuration allows the module to control the direction of DC motors, enabling forward and reverse movement. This is crucial for various applications, including robotic locomotion, conveyor systems, and vehicle platforms.
• High Current Handling: The L298N module is designed to handle relatively high currents, making it suitable for driving motors with different power requirements. It can typically handle currents in the range of 2A to 3A per motor channel.
• Voltage Compatibility: The module is compatible with a wide range of input voltages, typically ranging from 5V to 35V. This flexibility allows it to work with various power sources, including batteries and power supplies.
• PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Control: It supports PWM control, which allows for precise speed control of DC motors. PWM signals can be generated by microcontrollers or other control systems.
• Built-in Diodes: The module includes built-in flyback diodes, also known as freewheeling diodes, to protect against back EMF (electromotive force) generated by the motors during deceleration, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
• Current Sensing: Some versions of the L298N module feature current-sensing pins that can be used to monitor motor current for feedback control or protection purposes.
• Heat Sink: Many L298N modules come with a heat sink to dissipate heat generated during motor operation, ensuring the module remains within a safe temperature range.
