TVS Diodes help suppress and clamp transient voltages. Most TVS diodes can fully clamp around 10 ns and can keep the VBUS at their clamping voltage for a period of time. Looking at the clamping voltage of TVS diodes after they settle during a transient will help decide which TVS diode to use. The peak power rating of a TVS diode must be able to handle the worst case conditions in the system.
To prevent the possibility of large ground currents into the TPS65994AD during sudden disconnects due to inductive effects in a cable, it is recommended that a Schottky diode be placed from VBUS to ground.
The TVS2200 can serve to clamp the VBUS voltage and prevent large ground currents into the PD controller as shown in Figure 9-1
