Murata Introduces Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module for Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication are now required based on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to consume less power.
To meet the needs of customers, Murata used their unique wireless design and product processing technology to create a product with built-in CYW43022 that has low power consumption abilities. The CYW43022 chip can keep the device connected even when the main processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its capability to handle connectivity processing with the Bluetooth stack and offloading Wi-Fi network tasks. This helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, space was saved on the module, making the product more compact.
