In order to enhance the reliability and availability of the (U)SIM cards in customers’ applications, please
follow the criteria below in the (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 VBAT traces.
Assure the ground between the module and the (U)SIM card connector short and wide. Keep the
trace width of ground and USIM_VDD no less than 0.5mm to maintain the same electric potential.
To avoid cross-talk between USIM_DATA and USIM_CLK, keep them away from each other and
shield them with surrounded ground.
In order to offer good ESD protection, it is recommended to add a TVS diode array whose parasitic
capacitance should not exceed 15pF. The 0Ω resistors should be added in series between the
module and the (U)SIM card so as to suppress EMI spurious transmission and enhance ESD
protection. The 33pF capacitors are used for filtering interference of EGSM900. Please note that the
(U)SIM peripheral circuit should be close to the (U)SIM card connector.
The pull-up resistor on USIM_DATA line can improve anti-jamming capability when long layout trace
and sensitive occasion are applied, and should be placed close to the (U)SIM card connector.

USB Interface
EG95 contains one integrated Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface which complies with the USB 2.0
specification and supports high-speed (480Mbps) and full-speed (12Mbps) modes. The USB interface is
used for AT command communication, data transmission, GNSS NMEA sentences output, software
debugging, firmware upgrade and voice over USB*. The following table shows the pin definition of USB
interface.
