L293D Dual Motor Driver IC

L293D Power DIP-16 Stepper Motor Controller/ Driver is a dual H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit (IC). Motor drivers act as current amplifiers since they take a low-current control signal and provide a higher-current signal. This higher current signal is used to drive the motors.

The Device is a monolithic integrated and can drive inductive loads also.

L293D has two inbuilt H-bridge driver circuits.
