The LM18298 is a high voltage, high current dual full-bridge
driver designed to accept standard TTL logic levels and
drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and
stepping motors. Two enable inputs are provided to gate the
input control signals.
The emitters of the lower transistors of each bridge are connected together and the corresponding external terminal
can be used for the connection of a current sensing resistor.
An additional supply input is provided to accommodate conventional logic supply voltages.

CLAMP DIODES
When driving inductive loads, diodes are necessary to
clamp spikes at the LM18298 outputs. Clamp diodes must
have a recovery time of 200 ns or better and a forward drop

of 1.2V or less at the rated load current. Typical devices are
the MB346 (Microsemi Corp., Santa Ana, CA), and the
V331X (Varo Semiconductor Inc., Garland, TX).
