(U)SIM hot-plug is enabled by executing
AT+QSIMDET=1,1
, a (U)SIM card insertion will drive USIM_DET
from low to high level, and the removal of it will drive USIM_DET from high to low level.
⚫
When the (U)SIM is absent, CD is shorted to ground and USIM_DET is at low level.
⚫
When the (U)SIM is present, CD is open from ground and USIM_DET is at high level.
The following figure shows a reference design for (U)SIM interface with a normally closed (U)SIM card
connector.

Figure 12: Reference Circuit of Normally Closed (U)SIM Card Connector
3.6.3. Normally Open (U)SIM Card Connector
With a normally open (U)SIM card connector, CD1 and CD2 of the connector are disconnected when
there is no (U)SIM card inserted. (U)SIM card detection by low level is applicable to this type of connector.
Once (U)SIM hot-plug is enabled by executing
AT+QSIMDET=1,0
, a (U)SIM card insertion will drive
USIM_DET from high to low level, and the removal of it will drive USIM_DET from low to high level.
⚫
When the (U)SIM is absent, CD1 is open from CD2 and USIM_DET is at high level.
⚫
When the (U)SIM is present, CD1 is pull down to ground and USIM_DET is at low level.
