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.

thanks man but what diode should i use can i use the ln4004 ??
here's the schematic for the circuit as u can see the bridge is l293D which is unavailable as i said before and there's no hope i will find it

A 1N4004 is a rectifier diode for 50Hz or 60Hz and is very slow. PWM at high frequencies needs faster diodes. I don't have a list of fast diodes. I need one also.

what about ln4448 diode i guess it's fast enough (What is in mind??)

Would it be possible to use this IC to drive large Transistors like a 2N3055 so the circuit can handle Large loads?

thanks guys i found the l293D whixh is 600mA output and my motor is 500 mA so i guess it's almost okey to use that bridge directly
