Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" to support the growth of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, and is now in mass production.
The IoT market has seen an increase in the variety of applications in recent years, leading to a growing demand for IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require wireless communication functions to have specific specifications tailored to their needs. In particular, there is a push for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
To meet the demand for low power consumption, Murata utilized their wireless design and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 integrated. 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. This ultimately helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
