Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help spread the use of battery-powered IoT devices. The module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. In the case of devices that are powered by batteries, there is now a need for wireless communication functions to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated, utilizing their wireless design and product processing technology to meet the demand for low power consumption. The CYW43022 chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
