L293WS

The L293WS is a monolithic integrated circuit designed as a high-voltage, high-current motor driver. It is capable of driving inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC motors, and stepping motors. The device is suitable for use in applications requiring precise control of motor speed and direction.

Key Features:

1. Quadruple Channels with Enable Facility:

   • The L293WS features four independent channels, each capable of driving a motor or other inductive load.
   • Each pair of channels can be configured as an H-bridge, allowing for bidirectional control of motors.
   • An enable input is provided for each pair of channels, allowing for individual control of each motor or load.

2. High-Voltage and High-Current Capability:

   • The device supports a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 36V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
   • It has a maximum output current capability of up to 1A per channel (continuous) and a peak output current of up to 1.2A (non-repetitive) per channel.

3. Logical Input and Overtemperature Protection:

   • The L293WS accepts standard DTL or TTL logic levels as input, making it easy to interface with digital circuits.
   • Overtemperature protection is included to prevent damage to the device in case of overheating.

4. Package and Heat Dissipation:

   • The L293WS is typically packaged in a surface-mount or through-hole package, depending on the specific version.
   • Heat-sinking pins are provided to help dissipate heat generated during operation, ensuring reliable performance even in high-power applications.

5. Switching Frequency:

   • The device is suitable for use in switching applications at frequencies up to 5kHz, making it suitable for a variety of motor control applications.

Applications:

• Motor control systems
• Industrial automation
• Robotics
• Automation equipment
• Any other application requiring precise control of motors or other inductive loads.
