L293D MOTOR DRIVER

A motor driver designed as an integrated circuit chip basically used to control motors in autonomous robots. Motor drivers function as an interface between Arduino and the motors.L293 D  Motor Driver is one of the most commonly used motor driver IC’s in the electronics system. L293D motor driver defined as a 16 pin, monolithic integrated, high power driver for driving DC motor. The L293D designed as a dual H bridge motor driver capable of driving a pair of DC motors or a single stepper motor. It uses the popular L293 motor driver IC. Hence, It can drive 4 DC motors on and off, or drive 2 DC motors with direction and speed control independently. The H-bridge is the most basic circuit for controlling a motor with a low current rating. It can drive up to two motors independently, making it perfect for developing two-wheel robot platforms.

L293D is the optimum choice for motors with an operating voltage less than 36V and an operational current less than 600mA that will be controlled by digital circuits like as Op-Amps, 555 timers, digital gates, or even Micron rollers such as Arduino, PIC, ARM, and others. The driver considerably simplifies and improves the simplicity with which microcontrollers may operate motors, relays, and other devices. It has a total DC current of up to 600mA and can drive motors up to 12V.
