should be provided. As the maximum output current of VDD_SDIO is 50mA which can only be used
for SDIO pull-up resistors, an externally power supply is needed for SD card.
 To avoid jitter of bus, resistors R7~R11 are needed to pull up the SDIO to VDD_SDIO. Value of these
resistors is among 10KΩ~100KΩ and the recommended value is 100KΩ. VDD_SDIO should be used
as the pull-up power.
 In order to adjust signal quality, it is recommended to add 0Ω resistors R1~R6 in series between the
module and the SD card. The bypass capacitors C1~C6 are reserved and not mounted by default. All
resistors and bypass capacitors should be placed close to the module.
 In order to offer good ESD protection, it is recommended to add a TVS diode on SD card pins near
the SD card connector with junction capacitance less than 15pF.
 Keep SDIO signals far away from other sensitive circuits/signals such as RF circuits, analog signals,
etc., as well as noisy signals such as clock signals, DCDC signals, etc.
 It is important to route the SDIO signal traces with total grounding. The impedance of SDIO data
trace is 50Ω (±10%).
 Make sure the adjacent trace spacing is two times of the trace width and the load capacitance of
SDIO bus should be less than 15pF.
 It is recommended to keep the trace length difference between CLK and DATA/CMD less than 1mm
and the total routing length less than 50mm. The total trace length inside the module is 27mm, so the
exterior total trace length should be less than 23mm.
3.14. ADC Interfaces
The module provides two analog-to-digital converter (ADC) interfaces. AT+QADC=0 command can be
used to read the voltage value on ADC0 pin. AT+QADC=1 command can be used to read the voltage
value on ADC1 pin. For more details about these AT commands, please refer to document [2].
In order to improve the accuracy of ADC, the trace of ADC should be surrounded by ground.
