Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced 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 Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for these wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. In the case of battery-powered devices, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions to consume less power.
In order to meet the need for low power consumption, Murata has utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product that includes CYW43022. This chip allows for connectivity even when the main processor is in sleep mode, reducing power usage at the system level. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, space was saved on the module, resulting in a more compact product.
