Murata’s New Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata is now offering a low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF," designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require wireless communication functions with specific specifications. In the case of battery-powered devices, it is important for wireless communication functions to have lower power consumption.
To meet the need for low power consumption, Murata utilized their unique wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product that includes the CYW43022 chip. This chip enables the product to maintain 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 at the system level. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
