L293NE Quadruple Half-H Drivers Description

The L293NE is designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 1 A at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. The L293NE is designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and bipolar stepping motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads in positive-supply applications. Characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, each output is a complete totem-pole drive circuit, with a Darlington transistor sink and a pseudo- Darlington source. Drivers are enabled in pairs, with drivers 1 and 2 enabled by 1,2EN and drivers 3 and 4 enabled by 3,4EN.
