⚫  To avoid cross-talk between USIM_DATA and USIM_CLK, keep them away from each other and 
shield them with surrounded ground. 
⚫  In order to offer good ESD protection, it is recommended to add a TVS diode array whose parasitic 
capacitance should not be more than 15 pF. The 0 Ω resistors should be added in series between the 
module and the (U)SIM  card  to  facilitate debugging. The 33 pF capacitors are used  for filtering 
interference of  EGSM900. Please note that the  (U)SIM peripheral  circuit should  be  close  to  the 
(U)SIM card connector. 
⚫  The pull-up resistor on USIM_DATA can improve anti-jamming capability of the (U)SIM card. If the 
(U)SIM card traces are too long, or the interference source is relatively close, it is recommended to 
add a pull-up resistor near the (U)SIM card connector. 
 
 
USIM2  is  under  development,  not  recommended  for  the  time  being.  For  details,  please  contact  the 
technical support of remote communication. 
 
4.5. I2C and PCM Interfaces 
 
EG915U-EU provides one I2C interface and one Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) interface. 
 
The PCM interface of  EG91U-EU  series only  supports  slave mode,  not master mode.  Therefore, an 
external clock must to be provided to the codec. 
 
The following table shows the pin definition I2C of and PCM interfaces which can be applied on audio.

codec) 
External pull-up resistor is required. 
1.8 V only. If unused, keep it open. If 
the I2C interface is used to connect to 
external codec, it cannot connect to 
other external devices.
