OVERVIEW

In Telit modules there are four pins for SIM card holder connection; these lines are:

•SIMVCC (SIM Power supply)

•SIMRST (SIM Reset)

•SIMIO (SIM Data)

•SIMCLK (SIM Clock)

On the modules supporting Hot Insertion/removal of the SIM there is an additional pin for

sensing SIM presence:

•SIMIN (SIM Presence/Absence)

On the modules not supporting Hot Insertion/removal of the SIM, SIM is queried at Startup.

SIM connection design must take in account these general rules:

1) Data Integrity: standard rules for digital layout and routing must be followed taking in

consideration that SIMCLK has frequency of 3.57 MHz and SIMIO baud rate is greater

or equal than 9600Bps

2) EMI/EMC: this is a key aspect to consider designing an application based on TELIT

modules with internal antenna and/or without a proper shielded box. Some of these

conditions may occur:

•antenna picks-up digital noise coming from SIM card lines

•antenna radiated field may interfere digital lines

•digital lines (in particular clock) may radiate spurious in the surrounding space

To overcome all these potential problems, connection lines must be kept as short as possible

and shielded and SIM-holder position has to be as far as possible from antenna.

Besides RF bypass capacitors (10 pF ... 33 pF) closed to SIM card SIM-holder are another

good care.

When connection is not short, insertion of 10 … 47 Ohm resistor with 10 ... 33 pF capacitor

(RC filter) is a good caution to improve EMI from SIMCLK line.

On SIMRST and SIMIO lines is allowed to insert 10 ... 100 Ohm resistor with 10 ... 33 pF

capacitor (RC filter) to improve the EMI measurements.

Do not insert resistors on SIMVCC, their use is not supported by SIM electrical interface.

3) ESD: take ESD caution if application based on TELIT module has SIM holder with

contacts reachable from human body. Refer to chapter 5

Note/Tip:

SIM card is detected inserted when SIMIN line is shorted to

ground.

If in the application the SIM holder doesn’t foresee the switch for the

presence/absence of the SIM card, the SIMIN line can be connected to

ground or the SIM can be selected as present with the following AT

command:AT#SIMDET=1.

Note/Tip:

On xL865 and xE866 there is no dedicated SIMIN pin. To use the

feature, SIMIN pin has to be configured with the AT command

AT#SIMINCFG=<GPIO_pin> among the available GPIOs. Be careful because

in some products not all GPIOs can be configured for SIMIN function; you can

find the suitable GPIOs in the Hardware User Guide of the single devices or

in their Global Form Factor application note.

Note/Tip:

On GL865-QUAD V4 and GE310-GNSS there is no dedicated SIMIN

pin. Hot Insertion/removal of the SIM is not supported.

Target Market

Figure 2-1 illustrates in particular how the application should be designed and what values

the components should have:

PCB LAYOUT

In this section general rules are given on how to place and connect the components on the

PCB in order to obtain the better results on the EMI side.

The placement of the 33 pF filtering capacitors is very important in order to maximize their

effectiveness; the capacitors should be placed as closest as possible to the SIM pins and

intercepting the tracks that goes to the module. Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 show wrong PCB

designs:

Figure 3-1 PCB Layout 1 Figure 3-2 PCB Layout 2

The following Figure 3-3 shows a better design:

ESD PROTECTION

Note/Tip:

If the SIM is accessible to the customer use TVS dioses or varistors

to protect Telit modules from Electrostatic discharge.

ESD protection for SIM interface

It’s possible to use dedicate ESD protection chips with integrated EMI filter designed for the

SIM like ECLAMP2465T or TPD3F303. If these components are used it’s possible avoid

mounting the 33pF capacitors indicated in Figure 2-1, only the 1uF capacitor must remain,

we suggest to leave the solder pads in order to have the possibility to mount the 33pF

capacitors if necessary.
