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 the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help power IoT devices that run on batteries. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the use of wireless communication functions in various applications. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed depending on the specific application. In order to meet the demands of battery-powered devices, wireless communication functions are now expected to have lower power consumption.
To meet the market's needs, Murata has utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with low power consumption capabilities, incorporating the CYW43022 chip. This 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. As a result, the product consumes less power at the system level. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
