L293D Motor Driver IC.

The L293D is a simple 16-pin chip used on breadboards to control the speed and direction of small motors. It can run two DC motors or one stepper motor.

Key Things to Know:

Best for Prototyping: Its main advantage is its small size for breadboard projects.
Low Power: It’s designed for small motors, handling up to 600mA per channel.
Internal Protection: It has built-in diodes to protect your circuit, unlike modules like the L298N which require external ones.
Needs Two Voltages: Requires a 5V supply for logic and a separate 4.5V-36V supply for the motors.
