Module combines triband Wi-Fi 6E with BLE
Murata has begun mass production of the Type 2FY combo module featuring 2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, and 6-GHz Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth LE 5.4. Built on Infineon’s CYW55513 combo chipset, the Type 2FY dual-radio module combines a compact form factor with low power consumption to suit space-constrained IoT devices.
The Bluetooth subsystem of the Type 2FY wireless module—supporting BR, EDR, and LE—enables LE Audio, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), and Hands-Free Profile (HFP) for high-quality audio streaming. It delivers PHY data rates up to 3 Mbps for Bluetooth and 2 Mbps for Bluetooth LE. The WLAN subsystem complies with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax standards and achieves PHY data rates up to 143 Mbps. It uses an SDIO 3.0 interface, while the Bluetooth section connects via a high-speed 4-wire UART and PCM for audio data.
Pin-compatible with Murata’s Type 1MW (CYW43455), the Type 2FY offers a drop-in upgrade that requires no hardware redesign. Its compact 7.9×7.3×1.1-mm form factor is made possible by Murata’s proprietary packaging technology. Although based on the Wi-Fi 6E standard, the module limits bandwidth to 20 MHz to reduce cost.
