2.7. SIM Card Interface
The SIM card interface supports the functions of the GSM Phase1 specification. It also supports
the functions of the GSM Phase 2+ specification and the FAST 64 kbps SIM card (for the SIM
Application Toolkit). The SIM card is powered by the internal power supply of the module and supports
1.8V and 3.0V power.
Figure 8. Using the 6PIN SIM Card Reference Circuit Diagram
In the circuit design of the SIM card interface, in order to ensure the good functional performance
of the SIM card and not to be damaged, the following design principles are recommended in the circuit
design:
➢SIM card holder and module distance can not be too far away, the closer the better, try to
ensure that the SIM card signal line wiring does not exceed 20cm.
➢The SIM card signal cable is routed away from the RF line and the VBAT power line.
➢The routing width of SIM_VDD is not less than 0.5mm, and the bypass circuit between
SIM_VDD and SIM_GND does not exceed 1uF and is placed close to the SIM card holder.
➢In order to prevent possible crosstalk of the SIM_CLK signal to the SIM_DATA signal, the
wiring should not be too close, and the ground shield should be added between the two
traces. And the SIM_RST signal also needs to be protected.
➢To ensure good ESD protection, it is recommended to add a TVS tube and place it near the
SIM card holder. The selected ESD device has a parasitic capacitance of no more than 50pF,
such as WILL (http://www.willsemi.com) ESDA6V8AV6. A 22 ohm resistor in series is
required between the module and the SIM card to suppress spurious EMI and enhance ESD
protection. The peripheral circuit of the SIM card must be as close as possible to the SIM
card holder.
