Guidelines for single SIM chip connection
A solderable SIM chip (M2M UICC Form Factor) must be connected the SIM0 / SIM1 interface of TOBY-L4 series
modules as illustrated in Figure 38.
Follow these guidelines to connect the module to a solderable SIM chip without SIM presence detection:
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C1 (VCC) to the
VSIM
or the
VSIM1
pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C7 (I/O) to the
SIM_IO
or the
SIM1_IO
pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C3 (CLK) to the
SIM_CLK
or the
SIM1_CLK
pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C2 (RST) to the
SIM_RST
or the
SIM1_RST
pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C5 (GND) to ground.
Provide a 100 nF bypass capacitor (e.g. Murata GRM155R71C104K) at the SIM supply line close to the
relative pad of the SIM chip, to prevent digital noise.
Provide a bypass capacitor of about 22 pF to 47 pF (e.g. Murata GRM1555C1H470J) on each SIM line, to
prevent RF coupling especially when the RF antenna is placed closer than 10 - 30 cm from the SIM lines.
Limit the capacitance and series resistance on each SIM signal to match the SIM requirements (20.5 ns is the
maximum rise time on the clock line, 1.0 µs is the maximum rise time on the data and reset lines).
