Applications

• Communication systems requiring RF signal amplification

Procurement Notes

This component is officially classified as obsolete or discontinued by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted, and sourcing may require checking secondary market distributors or verifying end-of-life status directly with Microchip Technology. Designers should consider obsolescence risks when planning long-term production.

Selection Notes

Due to the discontinued status of the MRF8372G, new designs should evaluate alternative RF bipolar transistors from current Microchip portfolios or other manufacturers. Verify that any replacement meets the original electrical requirements for frequency range, power handling, and gain characteristics.

Part Context

The MRF8372G belongs to the family of RF bipolar transistors historically produced by Microsemi Corporation before its acquisition by Microchip Technology. The product line transitioned to Microchip branding, resulting in the current manufacturer designation found in public databases.
