Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has launched a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help advance the use of battery-operated IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications recently, leading to an increase in IoT devices equipped with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed based on the specific application. Additionally, there is a demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata has utilized its own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 integrated, which enables low power consumption. The CYW43022 chip can maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities, resulting in reduced power consumption for the product. Additionally, space on the module was saved by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
