Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module
Murata has released a new Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to be low-power and compact. This module is now in mass production and features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities. This module is intended to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications in recent years, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed based on the specific application. In order for battery-powered devices to operate efficiently, wireless communication functions must have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated, using their wireless design technology and product processing technology to ensure low power consumption. The CYW43022 chip can stay connected 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. By using smaller noise shields, space was saved on the module, making the product more compact.
