    1 introduction this application note introduces guidelines associated with the selection of components, design, and interfacing methods for a solution using the gr/gs64 line of wireless cpus. While it is not intended to be an exhaustive coverage of the topic of gsm sim design, these guidelines provi...

    2 interfacing the sim this section describes how to interface the sim and lists things to look out for when it comes to component layout and routing. This is very important for type approval, since the required testing is very stringent. 2.1 insertion and removal the sim should preferably be inserte...

    2.2 schematic considerations to make the design optimal and provide a flexible design for the type approval process it is beneficial to add optional components. Figure 1: recommended component provisions depending on the implementation transorbs might be needed to pass emc-tests. It is important to ...

    2.2.1 simvcc the simvcc-signal has a built-in 470nf capacitor inside the wireless cpu. This capacitance might not be enough, and it might not add the capacitance where it is really needed. Provision for a capacitor (c vcc ) ranging between 1uf to 10uf or more should be made available as close to the...

    2.2.3 simdat the simdat-line has a built-in 10k pull-up resistor implemented inside the wireless cpu. This pull-up resistance might not be enough to pass the io type approval test cases (27.17.2.5) depending on the application implementation. The application should provide the capability of adding a...

    3.2 test connections the sim type approval test equipment can be connected to the application in two different ways: 1. Paddle 2. Flying leads the test facility will most likely perform all tests using the paddle. This is the most realistic and easiest way to test the device. This test method does h...
