L293D 4-Channel Motor Driver Module

Detail about L293D 4-Channel Motor Driver Module

Description

The L293 and L293D devices are quadruple high-current half-H drivers. The L293 is designed to provide bidirectional
drive currents of up to 1 A at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. The L293D is designed to provide bidirectional drive
currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. Both devices are designed to drive inductive loads such
as relays, solenoids, DC and bipolar stepping motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads in
positive-supply applications.

Each output is a complete totem-pole drive circuit, with a Darlington transistor sink and a pseudo- Darlington
source. Drivers are enabled in pairs, with drivers 1 and 2 enabled by 1,2EN and drivers 3 and 4 enabled by 3,4EN.

The L293 and L293D are characterized for operation from 0∞C to 70∞C.
