LITTELFUSE SP4001

Silicon Protection Arrays
Application Guide
SIM Socket
Considerations:
● The SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) card has 3 data lines that are low-speed and low-voltage
→ Given the low speed of the signals, the capacitance will not be a concern
● The low-voltage signal lines are best protected by a device which has a low standoff voltage or VRWM
→ This allows the protection to turn on “earlier” in response to an over-voltage or ESD event
● Protection of the 3 data lines is shown below (i.e. CLK, DATA, and RESET)
