Hello,
Anyone knows the reasons that make the transceiver CC2420 to
consume more current receiving than transmitting.
Thanks,
Circuitry. In low-power radio chips, less than 2% of the energy
consumed goes into RF. Most of it is the electronics. It's often
simpler (electronics-wise) to modulate a signal than it is to
demodulate it. For the CC2420, that's the case, so the RX draw is
higher.
