L293DD Pinout

1：Overview of the L293DD：

L293DD Is a high voltage, high current motor drive chip, belongs to the classic L293 series of improved type, mainly used to control the DC motor or stepping motor positive and reverse, start and stop and speed regulation. The interior integrates two independent all-bridge drives (four channels), which can control 2 DC motors or 1 stepper motor simultaneously. Support forward rotation, reverse and braking, and control the motor direction through the input logic level. Built-in overcurrent protection, overheating protection and anti-electric motive potential diode, protect the motor and chip from surge damage. Compatible with TTL / 5V logic level, the control signal is directly connected with MCcontroller (such as Arduino, ESP32).

2：L293DD Important pin function definition:

（The 20-pin SOP (Small Outline Package) package is 12.80mm long, 7.50mm wide and 2.50mm1 high. This type of package is easy to mount on the circuit board, save space, and has good electrical and heat dissipation performance.）

3：Alternative model recommendation

ACM293DD：ACM293DD is a motor driver chip primarily used for controlling dual DC motors or stepper motors.ACM293DD is a surface mount packaging alternative model of L293DD and supports direct replacement.

SN754410: A product of TI. It is often used to drive loads such as DC motors. It can provide a relatively high driving current and has good anti-interference performance. Compared with L293DD, SN754410 has better logic level compatibility and can be easily connected to various control circuits. It is more applicable in some circuits with high requirements for stability and reliability.

A4950：A4950 is High-performance full bridge (H-bridge) PWM motor driver suitable for controlling DC motors and stepper motors. Operates within a voltage range of 8V to 45V (varies slightly by model, such as A4950ELJTR-T which supports up to 45V). Motor direction and speed are controlled via PWM signals input through the IN1/IN2 pins.
