Murata’s Type 2GF Module: A Game-Changer for Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF," designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the use of wireless communication features in equipment. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed depending on the application. For devices that are powered by batteries, there is an increasing demand for wireless communication functions to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022 with their proprietary wireless design technology and product processing technology. 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. By using smaller noise shields, space was saved on the module, making the product more compact.
