In order to enhance the reliability and availability of the (U)SIM card in customers’ applications, please
follow the criteria below in (U)SIM circuit design:
 Keep placement of (U)SIM card connector to the module as close as possible. Keep the trace length
as less than 200mm as possible.
 Keep (U)SIM card signals away from RF and power supply traces.
