Provide a bypass capacitor of about 22 pF to 47 pF (e.g. Murata GRM1555C1H470J) on each SIM
line (
VSIM
,
SIM_CLK
,
SIM_IO
,
SIM_RST
), very close to each relevant pad of the SIM connector,
to prevent RF coupling especially in case the RF antenna is placed closer than 10 - 30 cm from the
SIM card holder
Provide a very low capacitance (i.e. less than 10 pF) ESD protection (e.g. Tyco Electronics
PESD0402-140) on each externally accessible SIM line, close to each relevant pad of the SIM
connector: ESD sensitivity rating of the SIM interface pins is 1 kV (Human Body Model according to
JESD22-A114), so that, according to the EMC/ESD requirements of the custom application, higher
protection level can be required if the lines are externally accessible on the application device
Limit capacitance and series resistance on each SIM signal (
SIM_CLK
,
SIM_IO
,
SIM_RST
) to match
the requirements for the SIM interface (27.7 ns is the maximum allowed rise time on the
SIM_CLK
line, 1.0 µs is the maximum allowed rise time on the
SIM_IO
and
SIM_RST
lines)

Guidelines for dual SIM card connection with detection
SIM card detection is not supported by SARA-G300-00S and SARA-G310-00S modules.
Two removable SIM card placed in two different SIM card holders must be connected to the SIM card
interface of SARA-G3 modules as described in
, providing also the SIM card detection
feature.
