The L298N Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver Module | DC & Stepper Motor Controller for Arduino & Raspberry Pi is a dual H-Bridge motor driver capable of controlling two DC motors or one stepper motor. It features high current capacity and an on-board voltage regulator for logic supply.
Key features
- Dual H-Bridge design controls 2 DC motors or 1 stepper
- 2A per channel continuous current (3A peak)
- 5V-35V motor voltage range
- Onboard 5V regulator for logic supply
- Current sensing pins for overload detection
- Schottky diode protection against back EMF
- Heat sink included for thermal management
Good to know
- Enable jumpers must be in place or PWM pins used for speed control
- L298N has ~2V voltage drop – motor sees less than supply voltage
- Heat sink required at currents above 1A per channel
- Do not exceed 25W total dissipation
- 5V output available only when motor supply >7V
- For better efficiency at low voltages, consider DRV8833
