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" to help support the growth of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, and is now in mass production.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the variety of applications being developed, leading to a growing number of IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different types of wireless communication functions are now needed to cater to the specific requirements of various applications. Additionally, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to consume less power.
To meet the demand for low power consumption in electronic devices, Murata has utilized their own wireless design and product processing technology to create a product integrated with CYW43022. This chip enables the device to maintain connectivity even when the main processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth and Wi-Fi offloading capabilities. By reducing power consumption at the system level, the product is able to operate with lower energy usage. Additionally, the product was made more compact by implementing smaller noise shields on the module, freeing up space and making the device more space-efficient.
