Murata Launches Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module to Drive Battery-Powered IoT Equipment Growth
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which enables Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the use of wireless communication-enabled equipment. Different applications now require wireless communication functions with specific specifications tailored to their needs. In the case of devices running on batteries, there is a demand for wireless communication functions to consume less power.
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. This 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. As a result, the product consumes less power overall. Additionally, the product was made more compact by reducing the size of noise shields typically found in modules.
