Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata is now selling a low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that come with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. Wireless communication functions for devices that run on batteries are now expected to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by integrating CYW43022, which allows for connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This helps reduce power usage at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields on the module.
