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 over the past few years, leading to an increase in IoT devices that incorporate wireless communication capabilities. As a result, there is now a variety of specific requirements for wireless communication functions depending on the intended use. Additionally, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating the CYW43022 chip, which enables connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This chip helps reduce power consumption at the system level by handling connectivity processing with its Bluetooth stack and offloading Wi-Fi network functions. Additionally, the use of smaller noise shields has allowed for space-saving on the module, resulting in a more compact product.
