Does VSS (Logic Supply Voltage) on a L293D need to be connected for the IC to work?

Here is my breadboard using an L293D . Pin 16 (VSS) is at the top right. I'm trying to have my project operate in sleep mode drawing as little current as possible. When I added the IC, my draw increased about 24mA. I was experimenting and pulled…

I’m using the L293D IC as a driver, controlled by an Arduino board. Should I be worried about setting both inputs low?

Should I be worried about setting both inputs high? It seems that the simulation I made with Tinkercad doesn’t care of a short circuit happening, that’s why I need a word from an expert I posted the schematic, hoping that this could further…

L293D (Motor Driver sheild. ) Overheating issue

I really do have a doubt. Actually I'm making Vplotter and for that I'm using 333nNm 0.31 A Stepper motor NEMA 17. And I'm giving an external supply of 5V and 1 A to motor driver sheild. Will L293D heat.
