LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
PUSH-PULL FOUR CHANNEL DRIVERS
PRELIMINARY DATA
The L293 and the L293E are monolithic integrated high voltage, high current four channel drivers in
dual in-line plastic package with 16 leads and 20 leads respectively. They are designed to accept standard
DTL or TTL input logic levels and drive inductive loads (such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping
motors) and switching power
transistors.
Both are provided of complementary push-pull output stage, two inhibit inputs (which disable two
channels each), and an additional supply inputs so that the logic circuitry may run at a lower voltage to
reduce power dissipation.
In the L293E the emitters of the lower
transistors of each push-pull stage are not internally grounded
and the corresponding pins can be used for the connection of an external sensing resistor, making very
easy switch-mode current control.

The main features of the L293 and of the L293E are:
