8.4.1 Layout Guidelines

Keep the external capacitor traces short. This is more important on C1 and C2 nodes that have the fastest rise and fall times. Make the impedance from MAX3221E ground pin and the circuit board ground plane as low as possible for best ESD performance. Use wide metal and multiple vias on both sides of ground pin.
