i have tried using L298N to control a 12V DC motor which required to drive 1.44A, but i found that the output of L298N that generate to the motor tend to drops to half of the voltage that i supplied to input pin of L298N, and the maximum voltage that manage to supplied to the motor is only achieve around 3V, while i required 7~8V for the motor to lift certain load...anyone have any idea on it???
