Infineon Technologies AIROC™ CYW43022 Wi-Fi® 5 & BLUETOOTH® Combo

Infineon Technologies AIROC™ CYW43022 Wi-Fi® 5 and BLUETOOTH® Combo features dual Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3 bands and up to 65% reduction in power usage during "deep sleep." This combo uses Wi-Fi network offloads and an embedded Bluetooth stack to reduce the power demands on host processors. The CYW43022 combo includes a Class 1 Bluetooth PA with +18dBm transmit power to support designs with smaller antennas or designs that require a longer reach. The single-chip combo is manufactured to address the needs of IoT devices that require minimal power consumption and a compact size. The included power management unit simplifies the system power topology while maximizing battery life. Infineon Technologies AIROC CYW43022 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Combo is ideal for smart locks, smart wearables, IP cameras, and thermostats.
