Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module incorporates Infineon Technologies' "CYW43022" chip, and is now in mass production.
The IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications in recent years, leading to an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed depending on the specific application. In the case of battery-powered devices, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions that have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022 using their own wireless design technology and product processing technology. The CYW43022 chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This results in reduced power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by utilizing smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
