The XZ298N by XINLUDA is a much more affordable alternative to the L298N integrated circuit.

The XZ298N is a direct equivalent of the popular L298N integrated circuit manufactured by ST MICROELECTRONICS in a Multiwatt15 package. It is a high-voltage, high-current, dual H-bridge motor driver designed to control inductive loads such as relays, coils, DC motors, and stepper motors. It can operate over a wide range of supply voltages from 4.8V to 42V, providing a peak current output of 2A per channel (4A in parallel connection). The logic circuits are powered separately with 5V, and the control inputs are TTL-compatible. A low state corresponds to a voltage up to 1.5V, ensuring resistance to input noise caused by common grounding for logic signals and high-current outputs. It includes thermal protection and separate Enable logic input for each channel. Output current measurement for each channel can be performed using an external resistor.

Application in Robotics: The L298N is commonly used in robotics projects to control stepper motors or DC motors that drive the movement of robots. It can be used for various applications such as locomotion, lifting and lowering arms, rotating cameras, etc.

Key Features of L298N H-Bridge:

• Bidirectional Control: The H-bridge allows motor rotation control in two directions - forward and backward - by changing the direction of current flow.
• High Power Outputs: It can deliver significant power to motors with higher currents due to integrated transistors.
• Protections: It features built-in protective functions such as overload protection, overheat protection, and short-circuit protection.
• Easy Control: Compatible with various microcontrollers such as Arduino, facilitating motor control through digital signals.

The L298N H-Bridge is popular for its ease of use, performance, and availability at a low cost. It can be used for various motor control applications, making it a popular choice among hobbyists and professionals.
