APPLICATION INFORMATION (Refer to the block diagram)

1.1.POWEROUTPUT STAGE
TheL298integratestwopoweroutputstages(A;B).

The power output stage is a bridge configuration
and its outputscan drive an inductiveload in com­monor differenzialmode,dependingonthestateof
the inputs. The currentthat flows through the load
comesoutfromthe bridgeat the sense output: an
externalresistor(R

SA;RSB

.)allowstodetectthein-

tensityof this current.

1.2.INPUT STAGE
Eachbridgeis drivenby meansof fourgatesthe in-

putof whichareIn1; In2 ; EnA and In3; In4 ; EnB.
TheIninputssetthebridgestatewhenTheEninput
ishigh;a lowstateoftheEninputinhibitsthebridge.
Alltheinputsare TTL compatible.

2.SUGGESTIONS
A non inductivecapacitor,usuallyof 100 nF, must

be foreseen between both Vs and Vss, to ground,
asnearaspossible toGNDpin.Whenthe largeca­pacitorof thepowersupply is too farfrom the IC, a
second smaller one must be foreseen near the
L298.

Thesenseresistor,not of a wirewoundtype, must
begroundednear thenegativepoleofVsthatmust
be nearthe GNDpin of the I.C.

Eachinput must be connectedto the source of the
driving signalsby meansof a veryshortpath.

Turn-OnandTurn-Off:BeforetoTurn-ONtheSup­plyVoltageand beforetoTurnitOFF,theEnablein­put mustbe drivento the Low state.
