How to compute the sensing resistor for an L298?

Aug 01, 2003 1 Replies

If you don't want to use them, tie them to straight ground. They are only there to turn amps into volts so you can track the current.

Can anyone tell me how to compute the value of the sensing resistor for pins 1 and 15 on an L298 dual full h-bridge?



I assume I need it, but I do not care to use the sensing function. Can I tie both 1/15 together?



One last thing, how much power is flowing through this resistor?



Thanks - Marty
