TMS320C54CST: TVS diode on C1A (pin 73)

Part Number: TMS320C54CST

The recommended schematic for the TMS320C54CST includes a TVS on pin C1A (pin 73).

I tried a BAT54S and the DSP did not run.

I used a BAV99 and the DSP ran normally.

Can you please explain why the BAT54S prevented the DSP from running?

I don't see anything in the spec sheet for the BAT54S  that would prevent the DSP from running except possibly the capacitance.  The BAV99 is 2pF while the BAT54S is 10pF.

Thank you.
