Connect a resistor with a resistance not greater than 20 Ω respectively to USIM_DATA,
USIM_RESET, USIM_CLK, and USIM_DET in series close to the module to enhance the ESD
performance.
The N58 module supports USIM card detection. USIM_DET is a 1.8 V interruption pin. The
circuit design of interruption detection is determined by the structure of the USIM card connector.
The principle is that the levels of the detection pin are inverted before and after a USIM card is
inserted. In Figure 5-23, the reference design circuit is assuming that USIM_DET is floating
before a USIM card is inserted and is pulled up to 1.8 V after a USIM card is inserted. High level
means USIM card detected while low level means no USIM card detected.
If the user USIM card does not use the hot plug function, the USIM_DET pin of the N58 module must be pulled
up to 1.8 V by using a 47 kΩ resistor in series, and the software must disable the USIM hot plug detection
function. Figure 5-24 shows the reference design of USIM card (without the hot plug function) interfaces.

PCB design guidelines:
RF radiation easily interferes with the USIM card and its signal cables, causing the USIM card to
fail to work properly. Place the USIM card far away from the antenna area and RF circuit area.
Place the USIM card close to the module, and USIM traces should be as short as possible.
Place the series resistance and ESD protection components on USIM signal cables to be close
to the USIM card.
Surround USIM signal cable traces with ground to enhance the anti-interference capability.
