Murata Introduces Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module for Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has started producing a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. The specific requirements for wireless communication functions vary depending on the application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
As requested, Murata used their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with built-in CYW43022 that has low power consumption capabilities. The CYW43022 chip can maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields on the module, saving space.
