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 "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication are now needed depending on the specific application. For devices that are powered by batteries, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions to consume less power.
To meet the demand for low power consumption, Murata utilized their own wireless design and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 integrated. This chip allows for connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. The product was also made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
