L293D Motor Driver Module for Arduino

Description

The L293D Motor Driver Module is a versatile and commonly used component for driving DC and stepper motors in a variety of robotics and automation applications. It incorporates an L293D IC, a dual H-bridge motor driver that allows for independent control of two motors. The module can drive motors with voltages ranging from 4.5V to 36V and can deliver up to 600mA per channel, with peak currents of up to 1.2A. It has built-in diodes for back EMF protection, making it reliable and safe to use with motors.

The L293D module enables bidirectional control and may be readily interfaced with microcontrollers like Arduino via normal logic level signals. It’s great for projects that require motorized movement, like robotic arms, wheeled robots, and automated systems.
