Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications in recent years, leading to an increase in IoT devices that come equipped with wireless communication capabilities. The specifications for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing 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 own wireless design and product processing technology to create a product featuring the CYW43022 chip. This chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. As a result, the product consumes less power overall. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, space was saved on the module, making the product more compact.
