Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata is introducing a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. The module, known as "Type 2GF," has been developed and is now being produced on a large scale. It features a compact design and includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that come with wireless communication capabilities. These wireless communication functions now need to meet specific requirements depending on the application they are used for. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for devices that are powered by batteries.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated, using their own wireless design and product processing technology to meet the demand for 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 offloading capabilities. This helps the product consume less power overall. Additionally, the product was made more compact by utilizing smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
