Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes Infineon's "CYW43022" chip, and is now in mass production.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the variety of applications and a corresponding increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different types of wireless communication functions are now needed for various applications, leading to a diversification in their specifications. In addition, there is now a demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
To meet the need for low power consumption, Murata utilized their wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 integrated, enabling it to consume less power. The CYW43022 chip allows for connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. Additionally, the product was made more compact by reducing the size of noise shields, saving space on the module.
