Murata’s Type 2GF: Revolutionizing IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module
Murata has brought to market a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase the availability of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes 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 IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities due to the increased use of applications in the IoT market. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, utilizing their wireless design and product processing technology. This chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by utilizing smaller noise shields on the module.
