Infineon Technologies (Korea CEO Seung-soo Lee) has launched a Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth combo product, contributing to extending battery life for IoT applications through up to 65% power savings.

Infineon announced on the 20th that it is launching a new AIROC™ CYW43022 ultra-low power dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth® combo product.

The ultra-low power architecture of the CYW43022 provides industry-leading performance and reduces power consumption by up to 65% during 'deep sleep mode,' significantly extending the battery life of Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as smart door locks, smart wearables, IP cameras, and thermostats.

“Infineon, a leader in Wi-Fi and IoT technology, has developed an innovative approach to maximize battery life for power-sensitive consumer devices.” Sivaram Trikutam, Vice President of Infineon’s Wi-Fi product line, said, “Infineon has developed an innovative approach to maximize battery life for power-sensitive consumer devices.” “By optimizing the standby power of battery-operated IoT devices, it extends battery life compared to competing solutions,” he said. “This new solution, which combines Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and boasts the industry’s lowest power consumption, enables more devices to be intelligent, networked, and versatile in various environments.”

Infineon's AIROC CYW43022 ultra-low power dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3 combo includes Wi-Fi network offload capabilities and an embedded Bluetooth stack, thereby reducing the power demand of the host processor.

It also includes a Class 1 Bluetooth PA featuring +18dBm transmit power for designs using small antennas or designs requiring longer ranges. Secure Boot prevents hacker attacks by using firmware image authentication that requires signed Infineon firmware.

Infineon’s AIROC wireless products include Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, Bluetooth Low Energy, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo products, with over 1 billion units shipped to date, playing a key role in IoT solutions. The extensive portfolio includes highly reliable, high-performance, ultra-low-power products.

AIROC products utilize a common software framework across Android, Linux, and RTOS platforms and include Infineon ModusToolbox™ software and tools, enabling developers to develop high-quality, differentiated products while saving time and money.

Engineers can also receive online application support from the Infineon Developer Community.

Infineon has started supplying the AIROC CYW43022 ultra-low power dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth combo product, and additional information about this product can be found on the website.
