L298N Motor Driver

The L298N Motor Driver is a dual H-bridge motor driver module designed to control the speed and direction of DC motors and the direction of stepper motors. It allows a low-power microcontroller such as Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi to control motors that require higher current than the microcontroller can provide directly. The module uses the L298N dual H-bridge IC and provides separate control inputs for two motors. Motor direction can be controlled by changing the input logic signals, while PWM signals can be applied to the enable pins to control motor speed. Key Features: Driver IC: L298N Motor channels: 2 DC motors Motor supply voltage: Typically 5–35 V Control: Direction and speed control Speed control: PWM Logic control: Compatible with common microcontrollers Applications: Robot cars, conveyor systems, robotic arms, automated vehicles, and other motor-control projects Working Principle: The L298N uses two H-bridge circuits to control the polarity of the voltage supplied to each motor. By changing the input signals, the motor can rotate forward, rotate backward, or stop. PWM control allows the motor's speed to be adjusted according to the required application.
