SIM Card Design Guide
SIM card signal could be interferenced by some high frequency signal, it is strongly recommended to follow
these guidelines while designing:
SIM card holder should be far away from GSM antenna
SIM traces should keep away from RF lines, VBAT and high-speed signal lines
The traces should be as short as possible
Keep SIM card holder’s GND connect to main ground directly
Shielding the SIM card signal by ground well
Recommended to place a 100nF capacitor on SIM_VDD line and keep close to the SIM card holder
Add some TVS which parasitic capacitance should not exceed 50pF
Add 51Ω resistor to (SIM_RST/SIM_CLK/SIM_DATA) signal could enhance ESD protection
