Murata’s Type 2GF Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Technology
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" in partnership with Infineon Technologies. This module is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices and is now available for mass production.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications recently, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require wireless communication functions with specific specifications. In the case of battery-powered devices, there is a demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions.
To meet the need for low power consumption, Murata utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product that incorporates the CYW43022 chip. This chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. As a result, the product consumes less power at the system level. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
