L293D connection question [solved]
« on: September 21, 2009, 10:42:18 AM »
Hello guys and thanks in advance,

The L293D is a Dual H-bridge IC but.... I gotta drive only one DC motor, Can I parallel connect the two H-bridges and use them as one???

I think I've seen this before, but really gotta ask.... :-P


Best Regards,
Lefteris, Greece

Yes you can, it just doubles up the current it can drive.
