2.5.1.3 Guidelines for single SIM chip connection
A Surface-Mounted SIM chip (M2M UICC form factor) must be connected to the SIM card interface of
the SARA-R5 series modules as described in Figure 47.
Follow these guidelines to connect the module to a Surface-Mounted SIM chip without SIM presence
detection:
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C1 (VCC) to the VSIM pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C7 (I/O) to the SIM_IO pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C3 (CLK) to the SIM_CLK pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C2 (RST) to the SIM_RST pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C5 (GND) to ground.
Provide a 100 nF bypass capacitor (e.g. Murata GRM155R71C104K) at the SIM supply line close to
the relative pad of the SIM chip, to prevent digital noise.
Provide a bypass capacitor of about 22 pF to 47 pF (e.g. Murata GCM1555C1H470JA16) on each
SIM line, to prevent RF coupling especially in case the RF antenna is placed closer than 10 - 30 cm
from the SIM lines.
Limit capacitance and series resistance on each SIM signal to match the requirements for the SIM
interface regarding maximum allowed rise time on the lines.

2.5.1.4 Guidelines for single SIM card connection with detection
An application circuit for the connection to a single removable SIM card placed in a SIM card holder is
described in Figure 48, where the optional SIM card detection feature is implemented.
Follow these guidelines connecting the module to a SIM connector implementing SIM presence
detection:
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C1 (VCC) to the VSIM pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C7 (I/O) to the SIM_IO pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C3 (CLK) to the SIM_CLK pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C2 (RST) to the SIM_RST pin of the module.
Connect the UICC / SIM contact C5 (GND) to ground.
