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 features the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the last few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices equipped with wireless communication capabilities. These devices now require a variety of wireless communication specifications tailored to their specific uses. In particular, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to be more energy-efficient.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022 and utilizing 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 using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
