L293D is a monolithic integrated, high voltage, high current, 4-channel driver,you can use DC motors and power supplies of up to 36 Volts, the L293D chip is also known as a type of H-Bridge,which is typically an electrical circuit that enables a voltage to be applied across a load in either direction to an output, e.g. motor.
Compatible with the Arduino line of products. Trademark registrations throughout the world for ARDUINO or Arduino® are owned by: Arduino AG and Arduino SA.
