Use S20LC40 to Build a DC Motor Driver?

[Jason]

I plan to design and assemble a simple DC motor controller circuit that can control the speed and direction of a DC motor for applications such as automation systems or electric equipment that require precise motor control. I found that S20LC40 is a popular MOSFET-based motor driver IC. S20LC4 parameters. Is S20LC40 suitable for this task?

ok.
just looked up part number and it is just a pair of 20 amp diodes contained in a single 3 pin package ?

Power rating of the motor? Max load current @12vdc ?
