Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF," which is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, and is now in mass production.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. These devices now require a variety of specifications for their wireless communication functions, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for devices that are powered by batteries.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by integrating CYW43022 into it using their own wireless design and product processing technology. The CYW43022 chip can maintain connectivity even when the main processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This helps reduce power usage at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, freeing up space on the module.
