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 Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications in recent years, leading to an increase in IoT devices with 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 demand for lower power consumption in their wireless communication functions.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, a proprietary wireless design technology. This chip is able to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. By using smaller noise shields, space was saved on the module, making the product more compact.
