    An H bridge is an electronic circuit that allows a voltage to be applied across a load in either direction, enabling DC motors to run forwards or backwards. The L293D is a motor driver integrated circuit containing two H bridges that can independently control two DC motors. It works by using an H bridge circuit to change the direction of voltage flow and rotate the motor clockwise or counterclockwise. The L293D can drive small and large motors with a maximum voltage of 36V and current of 600mA per channel.

    H bridge

    An H bridge is an electronic circuit that enables a voltage to be applied across a load in
    opposite direction. These circuits are often used in robotics and other applications to allow DC
    motors to run forwards or backwards.

    L293D Description

    L293D is a typical Motor driver or Motor Driver IC which allows DC motor to


    drive on either direction. L293D is a 16-pin IC which can control a set of two DC
    motors simultaneously in any direction. It means that you can control two DC
    motor with a single L293D IC. Dual H-bridge Motor Driver integrated circuit (IC).

    The l293d can drive small and quiet big motors as well, check the Voltage
    Specification at the end of this page for more info.

    You can Buy L293D IC in any electronic shop very easily and it costs around 70
    Rupees (INR) or around 1 $ Dollar (approx Cost) or even lesser cost. You can
    find the necessary pin diagram, working, a circuit diagram, Logic description
    and Project as you read through.

    Concept

    It works on the concept of H-bridge. H-bridge is a circuit which allows the


    voltage to be flown in either direction. As you know voltage need to change its
    direction for being able to rotate the motor in clockwise or anticlockwise
    direction, Hence H-bridge IC are ideal for driving a DC motor.

    In a single L293D chip there are two h-Bridge circuit inside the IC which can
    rotate two dc motor independently. Due its size it is very much used in robotic
    application for controlling DC motors. Given below is the pin diagram of a L293D
    motor controller.

    There are two Enable pins on l293d. Pin 1 and pin 9, for being able to drive the
    motor, the pin 1 and 9 need to be high. For driving the motor with left H-bridge
    you need to enable pin 1 to high. And for right H-Bridge you need to make the
    pin 9 to high. If anyone of the either pin1 or pin9 goes low then the motor in
    the corresponding section will suspend working. It’s like a switch.
    TIP: you can simply connect the pin16 VCC (5v) to pin 1 and pin 9 to make
    them high.

    Working of L293D

    There are 4 input pins for l293d, pin 2,7 on the left and pin 15 ,10 on the right
    as shown on the pin diagram. Left input pins will regulate the rotation of motor
    connected across left side and right input for motor on the right hand side. The
    motors are rotated on the basis of the inputs provided across the input pins as
    LOGIC 0 or LOGIC 1.

    In simple you need to provide Logic 0 or 1 across the input pins for rotating the
    motor.

    L293D Logic Table.

    Lets consider a Motor connected on left side output pins (pin 3,6). For rotating
    the motor in clockwise direction the input pins has to be provided with Logic 1
    and Logic 0.   

    • Pin 2 = Logic 1 and Pin 7 = Logic 0 | Clockwise Direction


    • Pin 2 = Logic 0 and Pin 7 = Logic 1 | Anticlockwise Direction
    • Pin 2 = Logic 0 and Pin 7 = Logic 0 | Idle [No rotation] [Hi-Impedance
    state]
    • Pin 2 = Logic 1 and Pin 7 = Logic 1 | Idle [No rotation]

    In a very similar way the motor can also operate across input pin 15,10 for
    motor on the right hand side.

    Voltage Specification

    VCC is the voltage that it needs for its own internal operation 5v; L293D will not
    use this voltage for driving the motor. For driving the motors it has a separate
    provision to provide motor supply VSS (V supply).  L293d will use this to drive
    the motor. It means if you want to operate a motor at 9V then you need to
    provide a Supply of 9V across VSS Motor supply.

    The maximum voltage for VSS motor supply is 36V. It can supply a max current
    of 600mA per channel.Since it can drive motors Up to 36v hence you can drive
    pretty big motors with this l293d.

    VCC pin 16 is the voltage for its own internal Operation. The maximum voltage
    ranges from 5v and upto 36v.

    TIP: Don’t Exceed the Vmax Voltage of 36 volts or it will cause damage.
