Guidelines for single SIM card connection without detection
A removable SIM card placed in a SIM card holder must be connected to the SIM card interface of TOBY-L2 and
MPCI-L2 series modules as described in Figure 49, where the optional SIM detection feature is not implemented.
Follow these guidelines to connect the module to a SIM connector without SIM presence detection:
Connect the UICC / SIM contacts C1 (VCC) and C6 (VPP) to the
VSIM
/
UIM_PWR
pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C7 (I/O) to the
SIM_IO
/
UIM_DATA
pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C3 (CLK) to the
SIM_CLK
/
UIM_CLK
pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C2 (RST) to the
SIM_RST
/
UIM_RESET
pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C5 (GND) to ground.
Provide a 100 nF bypass capacitor (e.g. Murata GRM155R71C104K) on SIM supply line, close to the relative
pad of the SIM connector, to prevent digital noise.
Provide a bypass capacitor of about 22 pF to 47 pF (e.g. Murata GRM1555C1H470J) on each SIM line, very
close to each related 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 PESD0402-140) on each
externally accessible SIM line, close to each relative pad of the SIM connector. ESD sensitivity rating of the
SIM interface pins is 1 kV (HBM). So that, according to 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 to match the SIM requirements (27.7 ns is the
maximum allowed rise time on clock line, 1.0 µs is the maximum allowed rise time on data and reset lines).
