Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the Type 2GF, which is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon CYW43022 chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen an increase in applications, leading to a rise in IoT devices that incorporate wireless communication capabilities. These devices now require a variety of specifications for wireless communication depending on their intended use. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for devices that are powered by batteries.
To meet the demand for low power consumption, Murata utilized their wireless design and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 integrated. This chip enables 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 overall. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
