Murata Introduces Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module to Drive Battery-Powered IoT Equipment Growth
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices equipped with wireless communication capabilities. The specifications for these wireless communication functions vary depending on the specific application. In the case of battery-powered devices, there is a demand for lower power consumption from the wireless communication functions.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by integrating CYW43022, utilizing their wireless design technology and product processing 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.
