Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support the growth of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is now a demand for lower power consumption in the wireless communication functions of battery-powered devices.
Murata has used their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 built in, allowing for low power consumption. The CYW43022 chip can maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This helps the product consume less power overall. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, space was saved on the module, making the product more compact.
