Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, and Murata has started mass production of this compact wireless module.
In the past few years, as the use of IoT technology has grown, there has been an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. These devices now have a variety of different requirements for their wireless communication functions, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating the CYW43022 chip, which has connectivity processing capabilities. This chip allows 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 using smaller noise shields on the module.
