BG96 supports (U)SIM card hot-plug via the USIM_PRESENCE pin which supports low level and high
level detections. The function is disabled by default. Please refer to document [2] about AT+QSIMDET
command for details.
The following figure shows a reference design of (U)SIM interface with an 8-pin (U)SIM card connector.
