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," designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen an increase in the variety of applications in recent years, leading to a higher demand for IoT devices that come equipped with wireless communication capabilities. These wireless communication functions now need to meet different specifications depending on the specific application they are used for. Additionally, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to consume less power.
To meet the demand for low power consumption, Murata utilized their wireless design and product processing technology to create a product that incorporates the CYW43022 chip. This chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, resulting in a more compact product.
