Hello,

      Can anyone tell me what is   pin 4 , 5, 12, 13 of L293D
      Quadruple Half-H Driver?              When I read the
      spec., it says that they are connected to heatsink and
      ground, but is it mean that they should be soldered to
      a heatsink and this heatsink also acts as a ground?
      Why are only four pins connected to a heatsink, but not
      the whole chip?

      Thankx in advance for all the answers.
