Introduction to Motor Driver Modules

Motor driver modules act as intermediaries between microcontrollers and motors. They enable low-power

logic signals to control higher-power motors, which is crucial in robotic and automation systems. Among the

popular modules, the L298N and L293D stand out due to their versatility and ease of use in both educational

and industrial contexts.

Overview of L298N 2A Based Motor Driver Module

The L298N motor driver module is a compact, dual H-bridge motor driver that allows you to control the speed

and direction of two DC motors or a single stepper motor. It uses the L298N IC, a widely used H-bridge driver

capable of handling up to 2A per channel.

Key Features:

- Dual H-bridge driver for controlling 2 DC motors or 1 stepper motor

- Operating voltage: 5V to 35V

- Logic voltage: 5V

- Output current: 2A per channel

- Built-in 5V regulator

Pin Configuration of L298N Module

1. ENA, ENB: Enable pins for motor A and B

2. IN1IN4: Control pins for motor direction

3. OUT1OUT4: Motor outputs

4. VCC: Motor power supply

5. GND: Ground

6. 5V: Logic supply (can be used if 12V input is present)

Working Principle

The L298N IC has two H-bridges that allow it to change the direction of current flow, hence motor direction. It

operates using logic-level inputs (IN1IN4), and by adjusting PWM signals at ENA/ENB, one can control motor

speed.
