EC20_R2.1_Mini_PCIe_Hardware_Design 23 / 51
EC20 R2.1 Mini PCIe supports (U)SIM card hot-plug via the USIM_PRESENCE pin. The function
supports low level and high level detections. By default, It is disabled, and can be configured via
AT+QSIMDET
command. Please refer to
document [2]
for details about the command.
The following figure shows a reference design for (U)SIM interface with an 8-pin (U)SIM card connector.
