Figure 20: Reference Circuit of (U)SIM Interface with an 8-Pin (U)SIM Card Connector
If (U)SIM card detection function is not needed, please keep USIM_DET unconnected. A reference circuit
for (U)SIM interface with a 6-pin (U)SIM card connector is illustrated in the following figure.
Figure 21: Reference Circuit of (U)SIM Interface with a 6-Pin (U)SIM Card Connector
To enhance the reliability and availability of the (U)SIM card in applications, follow the criteria below in
(U)SIM circuit design:
⚫ Place (U)SIM card connector as close to the module as possible. Keep the trace length less than
200 mm as far as possible.
⚫ Keep (U)SIM card signals away from RF and VBAT traces.
⚫ Ensure the USIM_VDD has a bypass capacitor less than 1 µF, and the capacitor should be close to
the (U)SIM card connector.
