Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: A Game-Changer for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata is now selling a low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. The module, named "Type 2GF," features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip that supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the variety of applications, leading to a rise in IoT devices that come equipped with wireless communication capabilities. The specific requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the type of application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, which has connectivity processing capabilities, into its design. This allows the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. The use of noise shields in a smaller size helped save space on the module, making the product more compact.
