is anyone familiar with this driver chip

National Semi LMD18200 H BRIDGE

up to 3A continuous
6A peak(200ns)
supply voltage from 12-55V

QUESTION

does this mean i can't use a 9.6V battery pack for motors?
is this a plug and play?

Correct, it has a minimum voltage for correct operation. You can use a separate
battery pack with a higher voltage and simply connect the grounds to your 9.6V
battery. This chip is NOT a 293 replacement. You would have to build a small
circuit board (with heat sink, preferred) and then connect the proper signals
from the Handyboard to control the 18200. Otherwise a nice driver chip.

Mike
