The TC1508A is often marketed as an L298N module because it serves as a more compact and efficient alternative to the traditional L298N motor driver. While the L298N uses bipolar transistors, which generate more heat and require a heatsink, this TC1508A employs MOSFETs, making it smaller, more energy-efficient, and less prone to overheating.

The TC1508A motor driver can handle a maximum continuous output current of 1.8A per channel, with a peak current of 2.5A per channel. It's designed for applications like toy motor drives and operates within a voltage range of 2V to 7V.
