Description
Key Features:
Dual H-Bridge Configuration: The motor driver module features two independent H-bridge circuits, each capable of driving one DC motor or one winding of a stepper motor, enabling bidirectional control (forward, reverse, and braking) of two motors simultaneously.
High Current Capability: With its high current output capability, the L293D IC can deliver continuous output currents of up to 600mA per channel (1.2A peak), making it suitable for driving a wide range of small to medium-sized DC motors and stepper motors.
Wide Voltage Range: The module supports a wide operating voltage range, typically from 4.5V to 36V, allowing compatibility with various power sources, including batteries, DC power supplies, and microcontroller outputs.
Built-in Protection Diodes: Each H-bridge circuit includes built-in flyback (freewheeling) diodes, providing protection against voltage spikes generated by the motor’s inductive load during motor braking and deceleration, thus ensuring safe and reliable operation.
Logic Compatibility: The module is compatible with both 5V and 3.3V logic levels, making it compatible with popular microcontroller platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and others.
Enable and Disable Pins: The module features enable and disable pins for each motor channel, allowing users to selectively enable or disable motor outputs to conserve power or implement motor control algorithms such as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) speed control.
Compact Size: With its compact form factor and lightweight design, the motor driver module can be easily integrated into various electronic projects, robot chassis, and motor control systems without taking up much space.
Easy Wiring: The module features clearly labeled input and output terminals, as well as screw terminals or header pins for convenient and secure connection to external power sources, motors, and control signals.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for a wide range of applications, including robotics, automation, motorized vehicles, CNC machines, 3D printers, smart appliances, and DIY electronics projects.
