Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, and Murata has already started mass production of this compact wireless module.
The IoT market has seen an increase in applications and equipment with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now required based on the specific application. In addition, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication 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 that includes CYW43022. This chip allows for connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power usage at the system level. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, space was saved on the module, making the product more compact.
