Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features 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 equipment that includes wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata developed a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022, utilizing their wireless design technology and product processing technology. The chip's Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading features allow for connectivity maintenance even when the host processor is in sleep mode, ultimately reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
