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.
