Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase 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 past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require specific wireless communication specifications, and there is a trend towards lower power consumption in wireless functions for battery-powered devices.
To meet the need for low power consumption, Murata utilized their own wireless design and product processing technology to create a product equipped with CYW43022. This chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the main 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.
