Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF," which is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. The module features the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies.
In the past few years, there has been a growth in the use of IoT applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. Different types of wireless communication functions are now needed depending on the specific application. In the case of devices that run on battery power, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, which allows for 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. The use of noise shields in a smaller size also helped save space on the module, making the product more compact.
