Murata Introduces 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" in collaboration with Infineon Technologies. This module is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications available. This has led to an increase in IoT devices that come equipped with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication are now needed based on the specific application. Additionally, there is a demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has developed a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022 technology, which allows for connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, Murata was able to save space on the module and make the product more compact.
