Can I use L293D instead of L298N?
No. Drive voltage or the external voltage required to run the DC motor can be anywhere between 4.5V to 36V for L293D whereas between 5V to 46V for L298N. L293D is used for controlling motors rated at low current while L298N can be used for controlling high current motors also.
What is the difference between L298 and L298N?
The L298N is a member of a family of IC’s that all have the designation “L298”. The difference between the family members is in the amount of current they can handle. The L298N can handle up to 3 amperes at 35 Volts DC, which is suitable for most hobby motors.
What is the difference between L293 and L293D?
The L293 and L293D devices are quadruple high current half-H drivers. The L293 is designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 1 A at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. The L293D is designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V.
What is a L298N?
The L298N is an integrated monolithic circuit in a 15- lead Multiwatt and PowerSO20 packages. It is a high voltage , high current dual full-bridge driver de-signed to accept standard TTL logic level sand drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors.
What is the difference between L293 and L298 motor driver?
L293 is a quadruple motor driver that uses a half-H driver while L298 is a dual full-H driver, i.e, in L293 all four input-output lines are independent while in L298, a half-H driver cannot be used independently, only a full H driver has to be used.
What is H-bridge IC?
An H-bridge is an electronic circuit that switches the polarity of a voltage applied to a load. These circuits are often used in robotics and other applications to allow DC motors to run forwards or backwards.
What is l239d?
The L293D is a popular 16-Pin Motor Driver IC. As the name suggests it is mainly used to drive motors. A single L293D IC is capable of running two DC motors at the same time; also the direction of these two motors can be controlled independently.
Why do we need L298N?
You might be thinking why we need L298N for controlling a motor. The answer is very simple, Arduino board or a microcontroller IO pins don’t have enough current/voltage driving capability to drive a motor. For driving the motor in both directions (clockwise and anti-clockwise) we need to use an H-Bridge.
Which is better L293D vs L298N?
L293D Drivers Operates at 4.5V to 36V whereas L298N can be Operates at up to 46V. Maximum 600mA Current can be drawn through both channels of L293D whereas L298N Motor Driver can draw up to 2A from both channels.
