Speed Controller L293D Motor Driver Shield

Chip: L293D External power: 0V - 25V Pin No: 16 pins Motors: 5V to 36V DC Tested compatible: Duemilanove, Mega & Uno Length: 3.4 Width: 2.7 Height: 1.2 Size: 69mm*53mm Board Weight: 38g Product Description Here we have a L293D monolithic integrated, high voltage, high current, 4-channel driver. You can use DC motors and power supplies of up to 36 Volts, that's some pretty big motors and the chip can supply a maximum current of 600mA per channel. The L293D chip is also what's known as a type of H-Bridge. The H-Bridge is typically an electrical circuit that enables a voltage to be applied across a load in either direction to an output, e.g. motor. 1. Two interfaces for 5V Servo connected to the high-resolution dedicated timer - no jitter! 2. Can drive 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors or 2 Servo 3. Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection 4. Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil or interleaved stepping. 5.Four H-Bridges: per bridge provides 0.6A (1.2A peak current) with thermal protection, can run motors on 4.5V to 36V DC 6.Pull down resistors keep motors disabled during power-up 7. Reset button 8.Two external terminal power interface, for separate logic/motor supplies 9.Tested compatible for Mega, Diecimila & Due
