Combining L298 and L293 motor driver

how can i combine L298(2A) and l293(1A) in a single circuit?

i tried to combine there VS and VSS but it would not turn but if i remove either one of them, that's the time the motor is working, ... I'm using arduino for my controller. thanks :slight_smile:

They are both basically the same thing, h-bridges, so why do you want to? Each stands alone to drive motors. Not surprised the motor works with either one of them in the circuit.

The 298 is often coupled with the 297 though, and there are schematics for that in the 298 data sheet. I think that's for stepper motors.
