Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" to assist in the expansion of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In recent years, as the IoT market has grown, there has been an increase in IoT devices that use wireless communication. The specifications for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. Devices that are powered by batteries now also need to have lower power consumption for their wireless communication functions.
Murata has utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 integrated, enabling low power consumption. The CYW43022 chip can maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, resulting in a more compact product.
