Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo chip extends battery life

Infineon’s Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo chip reduces power consumption by up to 65%, extending battery life in IoT applications.

Infineon Technologies AG has introduced its latest AIROC device, the ultra-low-power CYW43022 dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth combo chip. Thanks to the ultra-low-power architecture, the CYW43022 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo is said to offer up to a 65% reduction in power usage during deep sleep, extending battery life in applications such as smart locks, smart wearables, IP cameras and thermostats.

The AIROC CYW43022 combo chip includes Wi-Fi network offloads and an embedded Bluetooth stack, which reduces power demands on host processors, said Infineon. It also features a Class 1 Bluetooth PA with +18-dBm transmit power to support designs with smaller antennas or designs that need a longer reach. For protection against hackers, the combo chip provides secure boot with firmware image authentication that requires signed Infineon firmware.

The AIROC wireless product family including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combos, use a common software framework across Android, Linux and RTOS platforms and are pre-integrated with Infineon’s ModusToolbox software and tools. This allows designers to develop differentiated products that meet time to market and budget requirements, said the company. Developers have direct access to online applications support engineers at the Infineon Developer Community.

The AIROC CYW43022 is available now. Infineon will showcase the new combo chip along with other products and solutions for decarbonization and digitalization at Embedded World, March 14-16, Nuremberg, Germany, in hall 4A, booth #138 and virtually.
