L293DD013TR

Description

The L293DD013TR from STMicroelectronics is a robust and versatile motor driver integrated circuit designed to efficiently drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and bipolar stepping motors. As part of the L293D series, it is particularly notable for its high-current output capability and the inclusion of diodes for back EMF protection.

Key Features

• Output Current:The device can deliver up to 600 mA continuous current per channel to your motor or other inductive loads, with peak currents up to 1.2 A, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
• Supply Voltage Range:It operates with a supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 36 V, which provides flexibility in accommodating different power levels required by various devices.
• Built-in Clamp Diodes:The inclusion of clamp diodes is a significant advantage as they provide indispensable protection against inductive voltage spikes that occur when turning off inductive loads.
• Channel Configuration:The L293DD013TR can drive up to four channels, making it an excellent choice for controlling two DC motors or one stepping motor in both directions.
• Separate Input-Logic Supply:The device features an independent logic supply input which allows the internal logic to operate at a lower voltage, typically 5 V, while still driving motors at a higher voltage.

Applications

The L293DD013TR is suitable for a variety of applications in the consumer, industrial, and automotive sectors. Its ability to drive both DC and stepping motors makes it an ideal choice for use in:

• Printers and office automation machines
• Small robotics projects
• Control systems for valves and actuators
• Positioning and servo control in embedded systems

Package and Quality

The motor driver comes in a PowerSO20 package, which is not only space-efficient but also provides excellent power dissipation characteristics. The device is available in tape and reel packaging, with the suffix ‘TR’ indicating its readiness for automated assembly processes. STMicroelectronics ensures high manufacturing standards, with the L293DD013TR being compliant with RoHS and designed to meet the rigorous demands of the industrial and automotive industries.
