Table 15: SIM pin definition 
Pin name  Pin number  Function 
SIM_VDD  18  Voltage supply for SIM card. Support 1.8V or 3V SIM card 
SIM_DATA  15  SIM data input/output 
SIM_CLK  16  SIM clock 
SIM_RST  17  SIM reset 
SIM_DET  14  SIM card detection 
The SIM_DET pin is used for SIM card detection. Users can select the 8-pin SIM card holder to implement this 
function. AT command “AT+CSDT” is used to enable or disable SIM card detection function. For details of this 
AT command, please refer to document 
[1]
. 
It is recommended to place an ESD protection component close to the SIM card holder, such as SMF15C 
provided by ON SEMI (www.onsemi.com
 ). The reference circuit of the 8-pin SIM card holder is illustrated as 
below: 
Figure 32: Reference circuit of the 8-pin SIM card holder 
If the SIM card detection function is not used, users can keep SIM_DET pin open. The reference circuit of 6-pin 
SIM card holder is illustrated as below: 
Figure 33: Reference circuit of the 6-pin SIM card holder 
Note: 51Ω series resistors are not needed for SIM_RST/SIM_CLK/SIM_DATA, which are build-in already.
