Battery powered IoT devices enabled with wireless connectivity have made millions of remote monitoring and controlling use cases a reality. The key lies in two major features: long battery life and secured data communication. The Type 2EG solution delivers the lowest power consumption in the Bluetooth LE module market because both of its radio and built-in micro-processor are highly power efficient. The on-board Arm® Cortex®-M33 processor can remain in a deep sleep mode while still monitoring sensor interfaces. Additionally, the solution includes Arm®TrustZone® and Arm CryptoCell™-312 technologies that provide root of trust and unsurpassed data security protection.

The miniaturized module measures just 7mm × 7.4mm × 1.0mm. It also integrates Bluetooth LE SoC, RF front end, fast and slow clock for operation and sleep mode, a large value inductor for low power mode, as well as an on-board antenna. This highly integrated, fully-certified solution simplifies IoT device system design to shorten the time-to-market.

“We are proud to launch this best-in-class product as it helps resolve two of the most pressing issues for those designing IoT applications – power efficiency and security,” said Jue Chang, Senior Marketing Manager at Murata. “This announcement underscores our commitment to developing the game-changing solutions that the market demands – and leveraging our trusted relationships to make that happen.”

“The ability to protect against cyber threats is an essential differentiator for manufacturers choosing a wireless microcontroller for industrial IoT applications,” said Michel De Mey, Vice President of the Industrial Solutions Division at onsemi. “With its advanced system-level security features and class-leading energy efficiency this revolutionary module provides a comprehensive wireless solution that OEMs and consumers can rely on.”
