Fixed typos and grammar. Retagged; L298N is just an L298 (N indicates the package), so no need to have a specialized tag for it. Used more specific tag.

Correcting typo, 2N3904 instead of 2N3906
Aug 2, 2013 at 18:06 comment added Athelstone @Tut: Sorry, it's a typo. You're right, it's 2N3904 that I actually use.
Aug 2, 2013 at 12:27 comment added pjc50 I'm also suspicious of putting the outputs in parallel like that..
Aug 2, 2013 at 12:19 comment added pjc50 (the logic ground and 24V power ground are definitely connected together, yes?)
Aug 2, 2013 at 12:19 comment added pjc50 If you are measuring 70ma @ 3.3V on the input to this circuit, then it's definitely the fault of the power supply. When you say "it drops to 3.3V when the motor is connected", do you mean connected and driven or does it fail even when the motor is not being driven?
Aug 2, 2013 at 12:12 comment added Athelstone @JIm Dearden : Wiring should be OK since if motor is unconnected the circuit works as expected (motor terminal J1 provides 24V on logic 10 and reversed polarity on logic 01). The motor has no load attached, so it's torque resistance should be at minimum. For logic, I'm simply connect it to ground for logic 0 and 5V for logic 1. 5V power rail come from different source (7805 regulated from 9V power supply, too much voltage burned for using 7805 from 24V supply) with both shared ground.
Aug 2, 2013 at 11:48 comment added Athelstone @pjc50 : 70 mA @ 3.3V. It does current limiting at 10A. I've tried connect the motor directly to PSU, and the motor roll OK, so neither PSU nor the motor itself has problem.

add links, inline schematic
Aug 2, 2013 at 9:22 comment added Andy aka What logic supply are you using?
Aug 2, 2013 at 9:10 comment added JIm Dearden The L298N is a very reliable chip, the reference circuit looks ok so perhaps the fault is with your wiring. BTW the current a motor draws is determined by the load (torque). You can't simply use ohms law by measuring the resistance and dividing that into the voltage rating. The back emf generated when the motor turns will reduce the effective voltage across the resistance so I = (24 - Vback)/7.5 - a much lower value than you calculated. The 3.2A is the stall current .
Aug 2, 2013 at 8:58 comment added pjc50 Are you sure the power supply isn't current-limiting? When the voltage drops to 3V, how much current is drawn from the supply?
