Murata Launches Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module for Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF," which is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip that combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed based on the specific use of the device. In the case of devices that are powered by batteries, there is a demand for wireless communication functions to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, a chip with connectivity processing capabilities, into its design. This chip allows the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. By offloading Bluetooth and Wi-Fi network processing to the chip, the overall power consumption of the product is reduced. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields on the module.
