Features:

• Module new and high quality.
• L293D is a monolithic integrated, high voltage, high current, 4-channel driver.
• Basically this means using this chip you can use DC motors and power supplies of up to 10 Volts, thats some pretty big motors and the chip can supply a maximum current of 600mA per channel, the L293D chip is also whatrsquo;s known as a type of H-Bridge.
• The H-Bridge is typically an electrical circuit that enables a voltage to be applied across a load in either direction to an output, e.g. motor.
• 2 interface for 5V Servo connected to the Arduino's high-resolution dedicated timer - no jitter.
• Can drive 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors or 2 Servo.
• Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection.
• Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil or interleaved stepping.
• 4 H-Bridges: per bridge provides 0.6A (1.2A peak current) with thermal protection, can run motors on 4.5V to 10V DC.
• Pull down resistors keep motors disabled during power-up.
• reset button.
• 2 external terminal power interface, for seperate logic/motor supplies.
• Tested compatible for Arduino Mega, Diecimila amp; Duemilanove.
• Size:6.8cm x 5.5cm x 2cm - 2.68inch x 2.17inch x 0.79inch.
