Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF," designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies.
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 are equipped with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require wireless communication functions with varying specifications. Additionally, there is a demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
To meet the need for low power consumption, Murata utilized their wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 integrated, allowing for reduced power usage. The CYW43022 chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. By reducing the power consumption at the system level, the chip helps make the product more energy-efficient. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
