L293D

STMicroelectronics

L293D is an STMicroelectronics push-pull four-channel H-bridge motor driver with internal clamp diodes in 16-pin PowerDIP — for small DC motors, steppers and relay coils: robot kits, toys and lab fixtures. 600 mA per channel with 4.5–36 V supply is the selection point: driving motors straight from logic pins with no external diodes. Selection advice: the D suffix denotes the internal clamp diodes — the key reason to pick the L293D over the L293; for higher currents, the L298N or modern integrated drivers are the step up. Mind the ~2 V saturation drop in your motor voltage budget. Parameters verified against the ST official product page. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

L293D selection guidance

L293D is a H-bridge motor driver from STMicroelectronics, orderable in the PowerDIP-16 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

L293D FAQ

What do the suffixes in L293D mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. L293D names the PowerDIP-16 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for L293D?

The package (PowerDIP-16) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for L293D?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for L293D?

Add L293D to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (STMicroelectronics), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
