Hello there.

I've piggybacked three chips, for a total of 2.6A (2 1A chips and 1 0.6A
chip, piggybacked with heat sink compound slathered between all the chips
and between the top chip and the heat sink I've put on it). I haven't had
any problems with this setup, but that may just be because I haven't had
the time to play with it much lately.


Hope that helps...
Stan Hiller

HI Just wondering what kind of success anyone has had with piggy-backing the L293's. My HB came with the TI h-bridge chips and I wanted to know if I could use the same technique. I figure if two chips can be run in parallel, giving up to 2A for each (...) (30 years ago, 10-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
