The L298 is an integrated monolithic circuit in a 15-lead Multiwatt and Power SO20 packages. It is a high voltage, high current dual full-bridge driver designed to accept standard TTLlogic levels and drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and
stepping motors. Two enable inputs are provided to enableor 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.
