Joining the vendor’s low-capacitance MLV (multilayer-varistor) AntennaGuard Series, the less-than-1-pF version protects high-speed digital interfaces, RF antennas, and RF-amplifier circuits against ESD events. Providing a fast response time to ESD, the MLV withstands a thousand lightning strikes at 8 kV in accordance to the IEC 61000-4-2 standard. The new version includes a 0.8-pF capacitance at 10 and 15V rating in a 0402 case. Based on application and volume, the device costs 1 to 2.4 cents.

Sounds like an impressive device. But could you show us exactly how we should use it in a circuit to protect an RF amplifier for example?
