Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon "CYW43022" chip which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the variety of applications, leading to a growing demand for IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is now a greater emphasis on reducing power consumption for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by integrating CYW43022 and utilizing their wireless design technology. The CYW43022 chip enables 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, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
