Page 9ETS 300 608 (GSM 11.11 version 4.18.1): May 19971ScopeThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the interface between the Subscriber IdentityModule (SIM) and the Mobile Equipment (ME) for use during the network operation phase of GSM as wellas those aspects of the internal organization of the SIM which are related to the network operation phase.This is to ensure interoperability between a SIM and an ME independently of the respective manufacturersand operators. The concept of a split of the Mobile Station (MS) into these elements as well as thedistinction between the GSM network operation phase, which is also called GSM operations, and theadministrative management phase are described in the GSM 02.17 [6].This ETS defines:-the requirements for the physical characteristics of the SIM, the electrical signals and thetransmission protocols;-the model which shall be used as a basis for the design of the logical structure of the SIM;-the security features;-the interface functions;-the commands;-the contents of the files required for the GSM application;-the application protocol.Unless otherwise stated, references to GSM also apply to DCS 1 800.This ETS does not specify any aspects related to the administrative management phase. Any internaltechnical realization of either the SIM or the ME are only specified where these reflect over the interface.This ETS does not specify any of the security algorithms which may be used.This ETS defines the SIM/ME interface for GSM Phase 2. While all attempts have been made to maintainphase compatibility, any issues that specifically relate to Phase 1 should be referenced from within therelevant Phase 1 specification.2Normative referencesThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) incorporates, by dated or undated reference,provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in thetext and the publications are listed hereafter.

Page 14ETS 300 608 (GSM 11.11 version 4.18.1): May 19974.1.2Plug-in SIMThe Plug-in SIM has a width of 25 mm, a height of 15 mm, a thickness the same as an ID-1 SIM and afeature for orientation (see figure A.1 in normative annex A for details of the dimensions of the card andthe dimensions and location of the contacts).Annexes A.1 and A.2 of ISO 7 816-1 [23] do not apply to the Plug-in SIM.Annex A of ISO 7 816-2 [24] applies with the location of the reference points adapted to the smaller size.The three reference points P1, P2 and P3 measure 7,5 mm, 3,3 mm and 20,8 mm, respectively, from 0.The values in table A.1 of ISO 7 816-2 [24] are replaced by the corresponding values of figure A.1.4.2Temperature range for card operationThe temperature range for full operational use shall be between -25°C and +70°C with occasional peaks ofup to +85°C. "Occasional" means not more than 4 hours each time and not over 100 times during the lifetime of the card.4.3Contacts4.3.1Provision of contactsME:There shall not be any contacting elements in positions C4 and C8. Contact C6 need not beprovided for Plug-in SIMs.SIM:Contacts C4 and C8 need not be provided by the SIM. Contact C6 shall not be bonded in the SIMfor any function other than supplying Vpp.4.3.2Activation and deactivationThe ME shall connect, activate and deactivate the SIM in accordance with the Operating Proceduresspecified in ISO/IEC 7 816-3 [25].For any voltage level, monitored during the activation sequence, or during the deactivation sequencefollowing soft power-down, the order of the contact activation/deactivation shall be respected.NOTE 1:Soft Power switching is defined in GSM 02.07 [3].NOTE 2:It is recommended that whenever possible the deactivation sequence defined inISO/IEC 7 816-3 [25] should be followed by the ME on all occasions when the ME ispowered down.If the SIM clock is already stopped and is not restarted, the ME is allowed to deactivate all the contacts inany order, provided that all signals reach low level before Vcc leaves high level. If the SIM clock is alreadystopped and is restarted before the deactivation sequence, then the deactivation sequence specified inISO/IEC 7 816-3 [25] subclause 5.4 shall be followed.When Vpp is connected to Vcc, as allowed by GSM (see clause 5), then Vpp will be activated anddeactivated with Vcc, at the time of the Vcc activation/deactivation, as given in the sequences ofISO/IEC 7 816-3 [25] subclauses 5.1 and 5.4.The voltage level of Vcc, used by GSM, differs from that specified in ISO/IEC 7 816-3 [25]. Vcc ispowered when it has a value between 4,5 V and 5,5 V.4.3.3Inactive contactsThe voltages on contacts C1, C2, C3, C6 and C7 of the ME shall be between 0 and ± 0,4 volts referencedto ground (C5) when the ME is switched off with the power source connected to the ME. Themeasurement equipment shall have a resistance of 50 kohms when measuring the voltage on C2, C3, C6and C7. The resistance shall be 10 kohms when measuring the voltage on C1.SIST ETS 300 608 E5:2003

Page 15ETS 300 608 (GSM 11.11 version 4.18.1): May 19974.3.4Contact pressureThe contact pressure shall be large enough to ensure reliable and continuous contact (e.g. to overcomeoxidisation and to prevent interruption caused by vibration). The radius of any curvature of the contactingelements shall be greater than or equal to 0,8 mm over the contact area.Under no circumstances may a contact force be greater than 0,5 N per contact.4.4PrecedenceFor Mobile Equipment, which accepts both an ID-1 SIM and a Plug-in SIM, the ID-1 SIM shall takeprecedence over the Plug-in SIM (see GSM 02.17 [6]).4.5Static ProtectionConsidering that the SIM is a CMOS device, the ME manufacturer shall take adequate precautions (inaddition to the protection diodes inherent in the SIM) to safeguard the ME, SIM and SIM/ME interfacefrom static discharges at all times, and particularly during SIM insertion into the ME.5Electronic signals and transmission protocolsElectronic signals and transmission protocols shall be in accordance with ISO/IEC 7 816-3 [25] unlessspecified otherwise. The following additional requirements shall be applied to ensure proper operation inthe GSM environment.The choice of the transmission protocol(s), to be used to communicate between the SIM and the ME, shallat least include that specified and denoted by T=0 in ISO/IEC 7 816-3 [25].The values given in the tables hereafter are derived from ISO/IEC 7 816-3 [25], subclause 4.2 with thefollowing considerations:-VOH and VOL always refer to the device (ME or SIM) which is driving the interface. VIH and VILalways refer to the device (ME or SIM) which is operating as a receiver on the interface.-This convention is different to the one used in ISO/IEC 7 816-3 [25], which specifically defines anICC for which its current conventions apply. The following clauses define the specific corerequirements for the SIM, which provide also the basis for Type Approval. For each state (VOH, VIH,VIL and VOL) a positive current is defined as flowing out of the entity (ME or SIM) in that state.-The high current options of ISO/IEC 7 816-3 [25] for VIH and VOH are not specified for the SIM asthey apply to NMOS technology requirements. No realization of the SIM using NMOS is foreseen.5.1Supply voltage Vcc (contact C1)The SIM shall be operated within the following limits:Table 1: Electrical characteristics of Vcc under normal operating conditionsSymbolMinimumMaximumUnitVcc4,55,5VIcc10mAThe current consumption of the SIM shall not exceed the value given in table 1 at any frequency acceptedby the SIM.When the SIM is in idle state (see below) the current consumption of the card shall not exceed 200 µA at1 MHz and 25°C.SIST ETS 300 608 E5:2003

It shall also be able to counteractspikes in the current consumption of the card up to a maximum charge of 40 nAs with no more than 400 nsduration and an amplitude of at most 200 mA, ensuring that the supply voltage stays in the specified range.NOTE:A possible solution would be to place a capacitor (e.g. 100 nF, ceramic) as close aspossible to the contacting elements.5.2Reset (RST) (contact C2)The ME shall operate the SIM within the following limits:Table 2: Electrical characteristics of RST under normal operating conditionsSymbolConditionsMinimumMaximumVOHIOHmax = +20 µAVcc-0,7Vcc (note)VOLIOLmax = -200 µA0V (note)0,6VtR tFCout = Cin = 30 pF400 µsNOTE:To allow for overshoot the voltage on RST shall remainbetween -0,3 V and Vcc+0,3 V during dynamic operation.5.3Programming voltage Vpp (contact C6)SIMs shall not require any programming voltage on Vpp. The ME need not provide contact C6. If the MEprovides contact C6, then, in the case of the ID-1 SIM the same voltage shall be supplied on Vpp as onVcc, while in the case of Plug-in SIMs the ME need not provide any voltage on C6. Contact C6 may beconnected to Vcc in any ME but shall not be connected to ground.5.4Clock CLK (contact C3)The SIM shall support 1 to 5 MHz. The clock shall be supplied by the ME. No "internal clock" SIMs shall beused.If a frequency of 13/4 MHz is needed by the SIM to run the authentication procedure in the allotted time(see GSM 03.20 [10]), bit 2 of byte 1 in the file characteristics shall be set to 1. Otherwise a minimumfrequency of 13/8 MHz may be used.The duty cycle shall be between 40 % and 60 % of the period during stable operation.The ME shall operate the SIM within the following limits:Table 3: Electrical characteristics of CLK under normal operating conditionsSymbolConditionsMinimumMaximumVOHIOHmax = +20 µA0,7xVccVcc (note)VOLIOLmax = -200 µA0V (note)0,5 VtR tFCout = Cin = 3 pF9 % of period with a maximumof 0,5 µsNOTE:To allow for overshoot the voltage on CLK shall remain between -0,3 Vand Vcc+0,3 V during dynamic operation.SIST ETS 300 608 E5:2003

The values given in the table have theeffect of defining the values of the pull-up resistor in the ME and the impedances of the drivers andreceivers in the ME and SIM.Table 4: Electrical characteristics of I/O under normal operating conditionsSymbolConditionsMinimumMaximumVIHIIHmax = ± 20 µA (note 2)0,7xVccVcc+0,3 VVILIILmax = +1 mA-0,3 V0,8 VVOH (note 1)IOHmax = +20 µA3,8 VVcc (note 3)VOLIOLmax = -1 mA 0 V (note 3)0,4 VtR tFCout = Cin = 30 pF1 µsNOTE 1:It is assumed that a pull-up resistor is used in the interface device(recommended value: 20 kohms).NOTE 2:During static conditions (idle state) only the positive value can apply.Under dynamic operating conditions (transmission) short term voltagespikes on the I/O line may cause a current reversal.NOTE 3:To allow for overshoot the voltage on I/O shall remain between -0,3 Vand Vcc+0,3 V during dynamic operation.5.6StatesThere are two states for the SIM while the power supply is on:-The SIM is in operating state when it executes a command. This state also includes transmissionfrom and to the ME.-The SIM is in idle state at any other time. It shall retain all pertinent data during this state.The SIM may support a clock stop mode. The clock shall only be switched off subject to the conditionsspecified in the file characteristics (see clause 9).Clock stop mode. An ME of Phase 2 or later shall wait at least 1 860 clock cycles after having receivedthe last character, including the minimum guard time (2 etu), of the response before it switches off theclock (if it is allowed to do so). It shall wait at least 744 clock cycles before it sends the first commandafter having started the clock.To achieve phase compatibility, the following procedure shall be adhered to:A SIM of Phase 2 or later shall always send the status information "normal ending of the command" afterthe successful interpretation of the command SLEEP received from a Phase 1 ME. An ME of Phase 2 orlater shall not send a SLEEP command.A Phase 1 ME shall wait at least 744 clock cycles after having received the compulsory acknowledgementSW1 SW2 of the SLEEP command before it switches off the clock (if it is allowed to do so). It shall wait atleast 744 clock cycles before it sends the first command after having started the clock.5.7BaudrateThe baudrate
