Application information

5 Application information

(Refer to the Section 1 Block diagram)

5.1 Power output stage

The L298 integrates two power output stages (A ; B).
The power output stage is a bridge configuration and its outputs can drive an inductive load in common or
differenzial mode, depending on the state of the inputs. The current that flows through the load comes out from
the bridge at the sense output : an external resistor (RSA ; RSB) allows to detect the intensity of this current.

5.1.1 Input stage

Each bridge is driven by means of four gates, managed by following inputs:
• In1, In2 and EnA
• In3, In4 and EnB
The In inputs set the bridge state when The En input is high; a low state of the En input inhibits the bridge.
All the inputs are TTL compatible.

5.2 Suggestions
A non inductive capacitor, usually of 100 nF, is required between both VS and VSS to ground, as near as possible
to GND pin. When the bulk capacitor of the power supply is too far from the IC, a second smaller one must be
placed near the L298.
The sense resistor, low inductance, must be grounded near the negative pole of VS that must be near the GND
pin of the IC.
Each input must be connected to the source of the driving signals by means of a very short path.
Before to Turn-ON the supply voltage and before to Turn it OFF, the enable inputs must be driven to the low state.

5.3 Applications
Figure 8 shows a bidirectional DC motor control schematic diagram for which only one bridge is needed.
The external bridge of diodes D1 to D4 is made by four fast recovery elements (trr ≤ 200 ns) that must be chosen
of a VF as low as possible at the worst case of the load current.
An external bridge of diodes are required when inductive loads are driven and when the inputs of the IC are
chopped; Schottky diodes would be preferred.
The sense output voltage can be used to control the current amplitude by chopping the inputs, or to provide
overcurrent protection by switching low the enable input.
The brake function (Fast motor stop) requires that the Absolute Maximum Rating of 2 A must never be exceeded.
When the repetitive peak current needed from the load is higher than 2 A, a paralleled configuration can be
chosen (See Figure 9).
This solution can drive up to 3 A in dc operation and until 3.5 A of a repetitive peak current.
On Figure 10 it is shown the driving of a two phase bipolar stepper motor; the needed signals to drive the inputs
of the L298 are generated, in this example, by the IC L297.
Figure 11 shows an example of P.C.B. designed for the application of Figure 10.
Figure 12 shows a second two phase bipolar stepper motor control circuit where the current is controlled by the IC
L6506.
