9 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

A typical application for the L293 device is driving a two-phase motor. Below is an example schematic displaying how to properly connect a two-phase motor to the L293 device.

Provide a 5-V supply to VCC1 and valid logic input levels to data and enable inputs. VCC2 must be connected to a power supply capable of supplying the needed current and voltage demand for the loads connected to the outputs.

9.2 Typical Application

9.2.1 Design Requirements

The design techniques in the application above as well as the applications below should fall within the following design requirements.

  1. VCC1 should fall within the limits described in the Recommended Operating Conditions.
  2. VCC2 should fall within the limits described in the Recommended Operating Conditions.
  3. The current per channel should not exceed 1 A for the L293 (600mA for the L293D).

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

When designing with the L293 or L293D, careful consideration should be made to ensure the device does not exceed the operating temperature of the device. Proper heatsinking will allow for operation over a larger range of current per channel. Refer to the Power Supply Recommendations as well as the Layout Example.

9.2.3 Application Curve

Refer to Power Supply Recommendations for additional information with regards to appropriate power dissipation. Figure 7 describes thermal dissipation based on Figure 14.

9.3 System Examples

9.3.1 L293D as a Two-Phase Motor Driver

Figure 8 below depicts a typical setup for using the L293D as a two-phase motor driver. Refer to the Recommended Operating Conditions when considering the appropriate input high and input low voltage levels to enable each channel of the device.

9.3.2 DC Motor Controls

Figure 9 and Figure 10 below depict a typical setup for using the L293 device as a controller for DC motors. Note that the L293 device can be used as a simple driver for a motor to turn on and off in one direction, and can also be used to drive a motor in both directions. Refer to the function tables below to understand unidirectional vs bidirectional motor control. Refer to the Recommended Operating Conditions when considering the appropriate input high and input low voltage levels to enable each channel of the device.
