2.5.1.4 Guidelines for single SIM card connection with detection
An application circuit for the connection to a single removable SIM card placed in a SIM card holder is
described in Figure 45, where the optional SIM card detection feature is implemented.
Follow these guidelines connecting the module to a SIM connector implementing SIM presence
detection:
 Connect the UICC / SIM contact C1 (VCC) to the VSIM pin of the module.
 Connect the UICC / SIM contact C7 (I/O) to the SIM_IO pin of the module.
 Connect the UICC / SIM contact C3 (CLK) to the SIM_CLK pin of the module.
 Connect the UICC / SIM contact C2 (RST) to the SIM_RST pin of the module.
 Connect the UICC / SIM contact C5 (GND) to GND.
 Connect one pin of the normally-open mechanical switch integrated in the SIM connector (as the
SW2 pin in Figure 45) to the SIM_DET input pin, providing a weak pull-down resistor (e.g. 470 kΩ,
as R2 in Figure 45).
 Connect the other pin of the normally-open mechanical switch integrated in the SIM connector
(SW1 pin in Figure 45) to V_INT 1.8 V / 3 V supply output by means of a strong pull-up resistor (e.g.
1 kΩ, as R1 in Figure 45).
 Provide a 1 µF bypass capacitor (e.g. Murata GRM155R70J105K) at the SIM supply line (VSIM),
close to the related pad of the SIM connector, to prevent digital noise.
 Provide a bypass capacitor of about 22 pF to 33 pF (e.g. Murata GRM1555C1H330J) on each SIM
line (VSIM, SIM_CLK, SIM_IO, SIM_RST), very close to each related pad of the SIM connector, to
prevent RF coupling especially in case the RF antenna is placed closer than 10 – 30 cm from the
SIM card holder.
 Provide a low capacitance (i.e. less than 1 pF) ESD protection (e.g. Tyco Electronics PESD0402-140)
on each externally accessible SIM line, close to each related pad of the SIM connector: the ESD
sensitivity rating of SIM interface pins is 1 kV (HBM according to JESD22-A114), so that, according
to EMC/ESD requirements of the custom application, a higher protection level can be required if
the lines are externally accessible.
 Limit capacitance and series resistance on each SIM signal to match the requirements for the SIM
interface regarding maximum allowed rise time on the lines.
