Re2 functions to isolate the transient from the Vdd pin;
values of around 1K ohms are reasonable.
As with all ESD protection networks, it is crucial that the
transients be led away from the circuit. PCB ground layout is
crucial; the ground connections to D1, D2, and C1 should all
go back to the power supply ground or preferably, if
available, a chassis ground connected to earth. The currents
should not be allowed to traverse the area directly under the
IC.

If the device is connected to an external circuit via a cable or
long twisted pair, it is possible for ground-bounce to cause
damage to the Out pin; even though the transients are led
away from the IC itself, the connected signal or power
ground line will act as an inductor, causing a high differential
voltage to build up on the Out wire with respect to ground. If
this is a possibility, the Out pin should have a resistance Re3
in series with it to limit current; this resistor should be as
large as can be tolerated by the load.
