description
The L293 and L293D are quadruple high-current
half-H drivers. The L293 is designed to provide
bidirectional drive currents of up to 1 A at voltages
from 4.5 V to 36 V. The L293D is designed to
provide bidirectional drive currents of up to
600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. Both
devices are designed to drive inductive loads such
as relays, solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping
motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage
loads in positive-supply applications.
All inputs are TTL compatible. Each output is a complete totem-pole drive circuit, with a Darlington transistor
sink and a pseudo-Darlington source. Drivers are enabled in pairs, with drivers 1 and 2 enabled by 1,2EN and
drivers 3 and 4 enabled by 3,4EN. When an enable input is high, the associated drivers are enabled and their
outputs are active and in phase with their inputs. When the enable input is low, those drivers are disabled and
their outputs are off and in the high-impedance state. With the proper data inputs, each pair of drivers forms
a full-H (or bridge) reversible drive suitable for solenoid or motor applications.
On the L293, external high-speed output clamp diodes should be used for inductive transient suppression.
A VCC1 terminal, separate from VCC2, is provided for the logic inputs to minimize device power dissipation.
The L293and L293D are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only , and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating conditions is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may af fect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. All voltage values are with respect to the network ground terminal.
2. For operation above 25°C free-air temperature, derate linearly at the rate of 16.6 mW/°C.
3. For operation above 25°C case temperature, derate linearly at the rate of 71.4 mW/°C. Due to variations in individual device electrical
characteristics and thermal resistance, the built-in thermal overload protection may be activated at power levels slightly above or
below the rated dissipation.

mounting instructions
The Rthj-amp of the L293 can be reduced by soldering the GND pins to a suitable copper area of the printed
circuit board or to an external heatsink.
Figure 9 shows the maximum package power PTOT and the θJA as a function of the side of two equal square
copper areas having a thickness of 35 µm (see Figure 7). In addition, an external heat sink can be used (see
Figure 8).
During soldering, the pin temperature must not exceed 260°C, and the soldering time must not be longer than
12 seconds.
The external heatsink or printed circuit copper area must be connected to electrical ground.
