L293D Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver IC DIP-16

The L293D is a 16-pin Integrated circuit, with eight pins, on each side, dedicated to the controlling of a motor. There are 2 input pins, 2 output pins and 1 enable pin for each motor. The L293D IC is designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. It is designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC & bipolar stepping motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads in positive-supply applications.
