Figure 17: Reference Circuit for (U)SIM Interface with an 8-pin (U)SIM Card Connector
If there is no need to use USIM_DETECT, please keep it open. The following is a reference circuit for
(U)SIM interface with a 6-pin (U)SIM card connector.
Figure 18: Reference Circuit for (U)SIM Interface with a 6-pin (U)SIM Card Connector
In order to ensure good performance and avoid damage of (U)SIM cards, please follow the criteria below
in (U)SIM circuit design:
Keep placement of (U)SIM card connector as close to the module as possible. Keep the trace length
of (U)SIM card signals as less than 200mm as possible.
Keep (U)SIM card signals away from RF and VBAT traces.
A 100nF filter capacitor shall be reserved for USIM_VDD, and its maximum capacitance should not
exceed 1uF. The capacitor should be placed near to (U)SIM card.
To avoid cross-talk between USIM_DATA and USIM_CLK, keep them away from each other and
shield them with ground. USIM_RST also needs ground protection.
