Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes an Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip that combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy functionalities.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more diverse, depending on the specific application. In the case of battery-powered devices, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating the CYW43022 chip, which has the ability to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This is possible due to the chip's Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields on the module, saving space.
