3.4. USIM Card Interface
The following table shows the pin definition of USIM card interface.
Table 6: USIM Pin Definition
EC25 Mini PCIe supports 1.8V and 3.0V USIM cards. The following figure shows a reference design for a
6-pin USIM card connector.

In order to enhance the reliability and availability of the USIM card in your application, please follow the
criteria below in USIM circuit design:
 Keep layout of USIM card as close to the module as possible. Keep the trace length as less than
200mm as possible.
 Keep USIM card signal away from RF and power supply traces.
 Keep the trace width of ground and USIM_VDD no less than 0.5mm to maintain the same electric
potential. The decouple capacitor of USIM_VDD should be less than 1uF and must near to USIM
card connector.
