is there any DC motor controlling chip

[horo333]

i just want to ask if if there any DC motor controlling chip?

[Trumpkin]

You mean like the L293d and L298?

[chelmi]

And give us more details... like the spec of your motor...

[superchiku]

l293d can handle upto 600 ma current for each motor...l298 can handle 2 A...u choice depends on the type of motor u use...

Checkout  my tutorial at http://www.societyofrobots.com/member_tutorials/node/159

As you will see L293 is now 'out-of-date' - tutorial gives replacement that is cheaper, pin compatible, and can supply more current.

L293 is dead!!!!!!! Please check the replacement datasheet - you will never suggest L293 again


Tutorial also gives L298 driver

[Razor Concepts]

Webbot's tutorial mentions the  SN754410 motor driver, the new one that replaces the 293. I have one and it works great and is easy to use.

i still use the l293d

[TrickyNekro]

i still use the l293d

who doesn't?

I only now learned that it was halted from production.... Although I knew about the replacement....

[superchiku]

the config of the SLN is same as the l293d then how come l293d is outdated...

[Webbot]

Hey I've nothing against the L293(D). Great chip - they just dont make it anymore!

but now they've stopped making it ,and the replacement is pin compatible, cheaper  and provides higher current then hey why not use the SN754410  instead?

[superchiku]

cool then....can use the l298 instead but its quite costly for a chip...
