STMicroelectronics, Brushed DC Motor Motor Driver IC, 46 V 4 A 20-Pin, PowerSO

ST Microelectronics presents its L298 dual full bridge driver series. The L298 series from ST is an integrated high voltage, high current dual full bridge driver. These devices are specially designed to accept standard TTL logic and drive inductive loads in Relays, Solenoids, DC and Stepper Motors. Featured are two enable inputs that allow the L298 to be enabled or disabled independently of the input signals. The emitters of the lower transistors of each bridge are connected together, the corresponding external terminal can be used to connect an external sensing resistor. In addition, a supply input is provided so that the logic works at a lower voltage.
