Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, and is now in mass production.
The IoT market has seen an increase in applications and equipment with wireless communication capabilities. The specifications for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. In particular, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating the CYW43022 chip, which has connectivity processing capabilities that allow it to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields on the module to save space.
