Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is 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.
In the recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the use of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. These devices now require a variety of specifications for wireless communication, depending on their 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 by incorporating CYW43022, a chip with connectivity processing capabilities, into their design. This chip allows 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, making the product more compact.
