Figure 15: Reference Circuit for Normally Closed (U)SIM Card Connector
4.1.4. Normally Open (U)SIM Card Connector
With a normally open (U)SIM card connector, CD1 and CD2 of the connector are disconnected when
there is no (U)SIM card inserted. (U)SIM card detection by low level is applicable to this type of connector.
After executing AT+QSIMDET=1,0 to enable the (U)SIM hot-plug: when a (U)SIM card is inserted,
USIM_DET will change from high to low level; when the (U)SIM card is removed, USIM_DET will change
from low to high level.
⚫ When the (U)SIM is absent, CD1 is open from CD2 and USIM_DET is at high level.
⚫ When the (U)SIM is present, CD1 is pull down to ground and USIM_DET is at low level.
