Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications recently, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. In the case of devices powered by batteries, there is a need for wireless communication functions to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating the CYW43022 chip, which has the ability to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This is achieved through the chip's Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. By using noise shields in a smaller size, space on the module was saved, resulting in a more compact product.
