L298N Motor Driver IC : Pin Configuration & Its Applications

This IC is used in the motor driver module to control the speed of the DC motor.
A controller like Arduino provided the input to the motor driver module.
Hence this logic is used to control the direction of the motor which is connected with the motor driver IC.

Pin Configuration

Pin Name	Description
IN1 & IN2	Motor A input pins. Used to control the spinning direction of Motor A
IN3 & IN4	Motor B input pins. Used to control the spinning direction of Motor B
ENA	Enables PWM signal for Motor A
ENB	Enables PWM signal for Motor B
OUT1 & OUT2	Output pins of Motor A
OUT3 & OUT4	Output pins of Motor B
12V	12V input from DC power Source
5V	Supplies power for the switching logic circuitry inside L298N IC
GND	Ground pin

If Q1 is high and Q2 is low then it is forward current.
If Q1 is low and Q2 is high then it is a reverse current.
When both the pushbuttons are equal like Q1=Q2 then it is a quick motor stop.
The Q1 push button is pressed then the current start flowing from o/p1 to o/p2 means the motor rotated in a clockwise direction.
Likewise, the Q2 push button is pressed then the current start flowing from o/p2 to o/p1 means the motor rotates in the anti-clockwise direction.
When both buttons are pressed simultaneously or released then the motor will be stopped.
So, the motor speed can be controlled through an L298 motor driver IC.
