L298N Stepper Motor Controller Driver IC

L298 DualN Full-Bridge Driver ICThe L298N is an integrated monolithic circuit in a 15-lead Vertical Multiwatt package. It is a high voltage, high current dual full-bridge driver de- signed to accept standard TTL logic levels and drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors. Two enable inputs are provided to enable or disable the device independently of the input signals. The emitters of the lower transistors of each bridge are connected together and the corresponding external terminal can be used for the connection of an external sensing resistor. An additional supply input is provided so that the logic works at a lower voltage.
