L293D Motor Drive Shield Compatible for Duemilanove Mega R3 AVR ATMEL

Description L293D is a monolithic integrated high voltage high current 4-channel driver. Basically this means using this chip you can use DC motors and power supplies of up to 25 that s some pretty big motors and the chip can supply a maximum current of 600mA per channel the L293D chip is also what s known as a type of H-Bridge. -Bridge is typically an electrical circuit that enables a voltage to be applied across a load in either direction to an output e.g. motor. Features - Color: as shown in the pictures. - Material: durable PCB board and metal. - Size: about 6.8*5.5*2cm. - and L293D Motor Drive Shield. - 2 interface for 5V connected to the high-resolution dedicated timer - no . - Can drive 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors or 2 . - Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit selection. - Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil double coil or interleaved stepping. - 4 H-Bridges: per bridge provides 0.6A (1.2A peak current) with thermal protection can run motors on 4.5V to 25V DC. - Pull down resistors keep motors disabled during power-up. - 2 external terminal power interface for separate logic/motor supplies. - Tested Compatible for Mega and Duemilanove.
