Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the L293E?
Yes. The symbol is Driver_Motor:L293E and the footprint Package_DIP:DIP-20_W7.62mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.
What package is the L293E?
DIP-20, with 20 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.
Where is the L293E datasheet?
STMicroelectronics publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.
Where can I order the L293E?
JLCPCB lists it as part C34150, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.
What can replace the L293E?
Parts like it in the library: the UC2638N by Texas Instruments and the UC3638NG4 by Texas Instruments. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
Which open-source boards use the L293E?
1 board in 1 repository on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
