SIM900 Hardware Design
5 Electrical, Reliability and Radio Characteristics
5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
The absolute maximum ratings stated in Table 28 are stress ratings under non-operating conditions. Stresses
beyond any of these limits will cause permanent damage to SIM900.
Table
26: Absolute maximum ratings
Parameter Min Max Unit
VBAT - 5.5 V
Peak current of power supply 0 3.0 A
Voltage at digit pins* -0.3 3.1 V
I

* - 10 mA
I
O
* - 10 mA
*For digital interface pins, such as keypad, GPIO, I2C, UART, LCD and PWMs.
5.2 Operating Temperatures
The operating temperature is listed in following table:
Table
27: SIM900 operating temperature
Parameter Min Typ Max Unit
Ambient temperature -30 25 80 ℃
Restricted operation* -40 to -30 80 to 85 ℃
Storage temperature -45 90 ℃
* The SIM900 does work, but deviations from the GSM specification may occur.
5.3 Power Supply Ratings
