I read on this list over a year ago that you *can* piggyback the two
different chips together and still get the spike protection from the
L293D. It was explained that you don't need to piggyback two L293D
chips, because one spike-protecting chip suffices for the circuit. I
don't recall who said it, but at the time it seemed very authoritative.

The HB FAQ mentions using the LM293B and LM293D chips in parallel
(e.g.,
one L293D and one L293B) to gain increased current-carrying
capability. My
question is, if I do this am I losing the function of the
spike-protecting
diodes on the motor outputs that the LM293D provides?
