L293D - H-Bridge Motor Driver

L293D H-Bridge Motor Driver IC - 4-Channel

The L293D is a monolithic integrated circuit configured as a high-voltage, high-current four-channel driver. It operates as an H-Bridge, facilitating control of inductive loads. This IC drives DC motors, stepping motors, relays, and solenoids. It accepts standard DTL or TTL logic levels, providing compatibility with microcontrollers. Each channel pair incorporates an enable input for bridge control. Integrated internal clamp diodes mitigate inductive kickback. A separate logic supply input supports lower voltage operation. The L293D is suitable for switching applications up to 5 kHz.
