STMicroelectronics L293DD013TR/L293D Push-Pull Four Channel Driver

The STMicroelectronics L293DD013TR/L293D is a robust, high-voltage, high-current quadruple driver designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600 mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. This integrated circuit is specifically engineered 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.

Constructed with the intent to simplify circuit design, the L293D integrates two full H-bridge drivers, making it an ideal choice for driving bipolar stepper motors which require phase reversals. The distinctive feature of this driver is its ability to independently control each channel through separate input signals, providing flexibility and precision in motor control systems and other applications.

Featuring an internal clamp diodes for inductive transient suppression, the L293D enhances the safety and longevity of your projects by protecting against voltage spikes that typically occur when driving inductive loads. This is particularly useful in preventing damage to other components in your circuit or the power supply.

The L293D comes in a PowerSO20 package, ensuring a compact footprint while offering a thermal shutdown feature for additional protection. It can operate within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C, making it suitable for a wide range of environments and applications.

With its simple logic control interface, the L293D can be easily controlled by microcontrollers and is compatible with standard TTL and CMOS logic. This makes it a versatile driver solution for developers and hobbyists looking to create or prototype robotic systems, automation equipment, and a variety of other motor-driven projects.

The L293DD013TR/L293D is a testament to STMicroelectronics' commitment to providing high-quality, reliable integrated circuits that empower designers to create innovative and efficient electronic solutions. Whether you're a professional engineer or an electronics enthusiast, the L293D is a reliable and practical component for your motor driving needs.
