L293D IC – Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver IC
The L293D IC is a versatile dual H-bridge motor driver that allows you to control the direction and speed of two DC motors or one stepper motor. It is widely used in robotics, automation, and DIY electronics for motor control using microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and STM32.
 
Key Features:
Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver
Controls 2 DC motors or 1 stepper motor independently.
Wide Voltage Support
Motor supply up to 36V; logic supply from 4.5V to 7V.
Current Handling
Delivers up to 600mA per channel (peak 1.2A) with built-in protection diodes.
TTL & CMOS Compatible Inputs
Easily interfaces with most microcontrollers and logic circuits.
Integrated Protection
Built-in thermal shutdown and internal ESD protection for reliable operation.
 
Applications:
Arduino and Raspberry Pi motor control
DIY robots and automated systems
Line follower and obstacle-avoidance bots
CNC and 3D printer motor control
Toy cars and embedded projects
