Power rating
The power rating of a TVS is its surge-absorbing capability
under specific test or application conditions. The industrialstandard test condition of 10 s/1000 s pulse form
(Bellcore 1089 spec.), as shown in Figure 1. This test
condition differs from the TVS ESD test condition of
8 s/20 s pulse form, as shown in Figure 2.

Vishay General Semiconductor
There are two kinds of load dump TVS for the primary
protection of automotive electronics: EPI PAR TVS and
Non-EPI PAR TVS. Both product groups have similar
operating breakdown characteristics in reverse bias mode.
The difference is that EPI-PAR TVSs have low forward
voltage drop (VF) characteristics in forward mode, and
non-EPI PAR TVSs have relatively high VF under the same
conditions. This characteristic is important to the reverse
voltage supplied to the power line. Most CMOS ICs and LSIs
have very poor reverse voltage capabilities.
