DESCRIPTION 
The L298 is an integratedmonolithic circuit in a 15- 
lead Multiwatt and PowerSO20 packages. It is a 
high voltage, high current dual full-bridge driver designedto 
accept standardTTL logic levels and drive 
inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and 
steppingmotors. Two enable inputs are provided to 
enableor disable thedevice independentlyofthe input 
signals. The emitters of the lower transistors of 
each bridge are connected together and the corresponding 
external terminal can be used for the connectionof 
anexternalsensingresistor.Anadditional 
supply input is provided so that the logic works at a 
lower voltage.
