Follow these guidelines connecting the module to a SIM connector implementing SIM presence detection:
 Connect the UICC / SIM contacts 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 ground.
 Connect one pin of the normally-open mechanical switch integrated in the SIM connector (as the SW2
pin in Figure 39) to the GPIO5 input pin, providing a weak pull-down resistor (e.g. 470 k, as R2 in
Figure 39).
 Connect the other pin of the normally-open mechanical switch integrated in the SIM connector (SW1
pin in Figure 39) to V_INT 1.8 V supply output by means of a strong pull-up resistor (e.g. 1 k, as R1
in Figure 39)
 Provide a 100 nF bypass capacitor (e.g. Murata GRM155R71C104K) 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 47 pF (e.g. Murata GRM1555C1H470J) 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 10 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 the EMC/ESD
requirements of the custom application, 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 (18.7 ns = maximum rise time on SIM_CLK, 1.0 µs = maximum rise time on SIM_IO and
SIM_RST).
