I recently decided to use a different RC car as a base for my robot, and this one has its own steering servomotor. There I need an h-bridge for driving a small (stall torque <1/2A) motor at about 5-6V (because the servomotor does not contain the control circuitry).
I've been doing my tests using two mosfet drivers in a full bridge configuration, but they are kind of big. And so are the other H-bridges I am familiar with like the LM298/LM293. Does anyone know of a smaller, preferably DIP package h bridge that can handle about 1A? Ideally I would like an 8-pin chip.
