Guidelines for single SIM chip connection
A solderable SIM chip (M2M UICC Form Factor) has to be connected the SIM card interface of LARA-R2 series
modules as described in Figure 45.
Follow these guidelines connecting the module to a solderable SIM chip without SIM presence detection:

Connect the UICC / SIM contacts 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 (VSIM) close to
the related pad of the SIM chip, to prevent digital noise.

Provide a bypass capacitor of about 22 pF to 47 pF (e.g. Murata GRM1555C1H470J) on each SIM line
(VSIM, SIM_CLK, SIM_IO, SIM_RST), to prevent RF coupling especially in case the RF antenna is placed
closer than 10 - 30 cm from the SIM card holder.

Limit capacitance and series resistance on each signal of the SIM interface (SIM_CLK, SIM_IO, SIM_RST), to
match the SIM specifications requirements (27.7 ns is the maximum allowed rise time on the SIM_CLK line,
1.0 µs is the maximum allowed rise time on the SIM_IO and SIM_RST lines).
