SIM Card Interface

SIM Card Application

SIM900-DS provides two SIM card interfaces. The interface complies with the GSM Phase 1 specification and
the new GSM Phase 2+ specification for FAST 64 kbps SIM card. Both 1.8V and 3.0V SIM card are supported.
The SIM interface is powered from an internal regulator in the module.
It is recommended to use an ESD protection component such as ST
(www.onsemi.com ) SMF05C.The pull up resistors (15KΩ) on the SIM1_DATA and SIM2_DATA line are
already added in the module internal. Note that the SIM peripheral circuit should be close to the SIM card socket.
The reference circuit of the 8-pin SIM card holder is illustrated in the following figure.
MODULE
The SIM_PRESENCE pin is used for detection of the SIM card hot plug in. User can select the 8-pin SIM card
holder to implement SIM card detection 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].
If the SIM card detection function is not used, user can keep the SIM_PRESENCE pin open. The reference
circuit of 6-pin SIM card holder is illustrated in the following figure.
