If (U)SIM card detection function is not needed, please keep USIM_PRESENCE unconnected. A
reference circuit for (U)SIM interface with a 6-pin (U)SIM card connector is illustrated in the following

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.
 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 with parasitic
capacitance not exceeding 15pF.
 The 0Ω resistors should be added in series between the module and the (U)SIM card connector so
as to facilitate debugging. The 33pF 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 line can improve anti-jamming capability when long layout trace
and sensitive occasion are applied and should be placed close to the (U)SIM card connector.
3.9. PCM and I2C Interfaces
UC200T-GL Mini PCIe provides one Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) digital interface and one I2C
interface.
