SN74V24515PAG – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The SN74V24515PAG is a high-speed, 15-bit bidirectional transceiver from Texas Instruments, housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package. It features 3-state outputs, enabling bus sharing and simplifying system architecture. Operating from a 1.65V to 3.6V VCC supply, it boasts a typical propagation delay of 4.2ns (VCC=3.3V) and a maximum current per output of ±24mA. The device incorporates internal ESD protection diodes, enhancing robustness. Each of the 15 bidirectional channels includes a three-state buffer with high-impedance off-state, permitting easy data flow control. This part is ideal for applications requiring fast data transfer in high-density designs, such as memory interface buffering, data acquisition systems, and high-speed peripheral interfacing. Its low power consumption (relative to comparable TTL devices) and compact TSSOP footprint are key advantages in space-constrained, battery-powered applications. The symmetrical operation ensures equal performance in both data transmission and reception modes, simplifying design and reducing component count. Careful consideration of the ±24mA output current limitation is advised during system-level current budget calculations.
