Better than L298N?

• use similar control signal
  • ordered TB6612FNG Module - spec - max input 15V
  • got a DRV8833 Dual H-BridgeMotorDriver - compatible, but board pin layout is different. - max input 11.8V
• MOSFETs better performance
  • better performance
  • lower voltage drop

L298N Motor Driver

Powering motors & logic

The module has an on-board 78M05 5V regulator from STMicroelectronics. It can be enabled or disabled through a jumper.

When this jumper is in place, the 5V regulator is enabled, supplying logic power supply(Vss) from the motor power supply(Vs). In this case, 5V input terminal acts as an output pin and delivers 5V 0.5A. You can use it to power up the Arduino or other circuitry that requires 5V power supply.

When the jumper is removed, the 5V regulator gets disabled and we have to supply 5 Volts separately through 5 Volt input terminal.
