Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that come equipped with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications are now needed for wireless communication functions, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a trend towards requiring lower power consumption for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated, utilizing their wireless design and product processing technology to meet the demand for low power consumption. The CYW43022 chip enables connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. By using smaller noise shields, space was saved on the module, making the product more compact.
