8.5.2 Minimal Derating

Unlike traditional diodes the TVS2700 has very little derating of max power dissipation and ensures robust performance up to 125°C shown in . Traditional TVS diodes lose up to 50% of their current carrying capability when at high temperatures, so a surge pulse above 85°C ambient can cause failures that are not seen at room temperature. The TVS2700 prevents this and ensures that you will see the same level of protection regardless of temperature.
