L293D Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver IC DIP-16 Package

Description

• IC Type: L293D Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver IC
• Package Type: DIP-16 (Dual Inline Package with 16 pins)
• Motor Control: Designed to control the direction and speed of two DC motors or a single stepper motor.
• Supply Voltage: Typically operates with a supply voltage in the range of 4.5V to 36V, providing flexibility for various motor types and applications.
• Output Current: Capable of driving motors with a continuous current of up to 600mA per channel and a peak current of up to 1.2A.
• H-Bridge Configuration: Utilizes an H-bridge configuration for each motor, allowing for forward, reverse, and braking control.
• Built-In Diodes: The IC has built-in flyback diodes to protect against back electromotive force (EMF) from inductive loads.
• Enable and Control Pins: Provides enable and control pins for each motor, allowing for fine-grained motor control.
• Applications: Widely used in robotics, automation, remote-controlled vehicles, and other projects involving motor control.
• Current Sensing: Some versions of the L293D may have current-sensing capabilities to monitor motor current.
• Temperature Protection: May include thermal overload protection to prevent overheating.
• Logic Compatibility: Compatible with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) logic levels.
