Motor Driver IC L293D

L293D is a typical motor driver or motor driver IC in which a DC motor can be driven in any direction. The L293D can control two sets of DC motors simultaneously in any direction with a 16-pin IC. That means you can control two DC motors with one L293D IC.

The L293D data sheet specifies that the device is a single integrated high voltage, high voltage, high current, 4-channel driver designed to accommodate standard DTL or TTL logic levels and drive inductive loads (e.g., relay solenoids, DC and stepping motors) and switching power transistors.
