Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" to support the growth of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy, and is now in mass production.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the variety of applications, leading to a rise in IoT equipment that includes wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed depending on the specific application. Battery-powered devices are now requiring wireless communication functions to have lower power consumption.
To meet the demand for low power consumption capabilities, Murata utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product that includes the CYW43022 chip. This chip allows for connectivity to be maintained even when a host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. As a result, the product is able to consume less power at the system level. Additionally, space on the module was saved by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
