L293D Motor Driver

Description

L293D Motor Driver

The Motor Driver is a module for motors that allows you to control the working speed and direction of two motors simultaneously .This Motor Driver is designed and developed based on L293D IC.

L293D is a 16 Pin Motor Driver IC and This is designed to provide bidirectional drive currents at voltages from 5 V to 36 V.

Where to use L293D Motor Driver IC

The L293D is a popular 16-Pin Motor Driver IC. As the name suggests it is mainly use to drive motors. A single L293D IC is capable of running two DC motors at the same time; also the direction of these two motors can be control independently. So if you have motors which has operating voltage less than 36V and operating current less than 600mA, which are to be control by digital circuits like Op-Amp, 555 timers, digital gates or even Micron rollers like Arduino, PIC, ARM etc.. this IC will be the right choice for you.

Applications

• Used to drive high current Motors using Digital Circuits
• Can be use to drive Stepper motors
• High current LED’s can be driven
• Relay Driver module (Latching Relay is possible)
