The best way to manage 2A motors

Hi all, i'm wondering how i can control a motor with 2A current flow at 6Volts. I'm hacking a toy and the motors that make it to move requires that current... so i can't proceed to my plan A: the L293DNE, because it manages a maximum of 1.4A.

I don't know if exist a similar chip but wiht a higer current limit.

If You have ideas for that... PLEASE HELP ME!

The L293E can handle up to

The L293E can handle up to 2A, but if you can’t find any of those, or any similar higher current drivers you could:
• Run several L293DNE or similar in parallel to give you enough current supply.
• Build your own driver using discrete BJT/MOSFET transistors.

Thx

I was thinking to the 1st option too.

Thx a lot!
