Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "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.
In recent years, as the use of IoT applications has grown, there has been an increase in IoT equipment that includes wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more diverse, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata has developed a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, a chip with connectivity processing capabilities, into it. This allows the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. By utilizing the chip's Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading features, the product consumes less power at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, freeing up space on the module.
