non stepper motor controlling bridge problem


reko

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone well Audio Guru u helped alot in the sensors topic i would like to ask again for help on a certain subject i found all of u guys making a hell of a discusion about well

I was planning on controlling a dc motor with brushes and commutator to work with atmel at89c2051 mcu (Using pulse width modulation) well i got everything from the tutorial u linked here about the pwg through a bridge to control motor and btw the code there is simple i am a computer science student so i know about it the problem here is that i planned to use the l293d which is equipped with spike-protecting diodes and rated 600 mA per channel but the only bridge i managed to get is a l293B which isn't equipped with the diode and also rated 1A per channel that could be a problem so my question is (Is it possible to use that bridge with a dc non-stepper motor or what?)

P.S:Audio guru u really helped last time i hope u do this time :)

Its datasheet shows where to connect external diodes and how it is used with DC motors having brushes and a commutator.
If your motor draws more than 1A when starting, working hard or is stalled, then the IC will make lots of smoke.
