Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: A Game-Changer for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called the "Type 2GF," which is now in mass production. This module includes the Infineon Technologies CYW43022 chip, enabling it to support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies. This development aims to support the growth of battery-powered IoT devices.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in applications, leading to an increase in IoT equipment that includes wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata has created a new product with CYW43022 integrated, which has low power consumption capabilities. This is achieved through the use of wireless design technology and product processing technology. The CYW43022 chip can maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its connectivity processing capability with the chip's Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading. This helps the product consume less power overall. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
