L298n Motor Driver Pin Diagram. The l298 can drive 2 dc motors these demos only use one motor but can be duplicated on the remaining pins of the l298. This module consists of an l298 motor driver ic and a 78m05 5v regulator.
A 3 wire setup could be duplicated for 6 wires. Most of the microcontrollers operate on very low voltage 5v and current while the motors require higher voltages and current so the microcontrollers cannot provide them such higher current. The l298n is a motor driver ic by st microelectronics.
It comes with two separate channels called a and b that you can use to drive 2 dc motors or 1 stepper motor when combined.
On top of that each h bridge has an enable pin which is used to. L298n module pin configuration. L298n motor driver ic has many applications in the embedded field especially on the robotics side. So for these demos a 2 wire setup could be duplicated for 4 wires.
