L293D IC

Description: 

The L293D IC is a popular 16-pin Motor Driver IC mainly used to drive motors. It is a dual H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit (IC) wherein it acts as a current amplifier, taking low-current control signals from a microcontroller or other digital logic and providing the higher current needed to drive motors. The L293D IC is capable of running two DC motors in any direction at the same time.
