description
The TPS9125 SIM supply and level shifter integrates a programmable 3-V or 5-V SIM supply , conformable to
the (GSM) test specification 11.10, together with either a 3-V or 5-V level shifter, conformable to the GSM
specification 11.11 and 11.12.
A charge pump, utilizing two external capacitors, is configured as voltage doubler to generate a 5-V supply rail
from VDD. Dependent on the SIM card used, a control signal coming from the SIM card controller is applied on
the MODE terminal to switch between a 3-V or 5-V supply on the SIMVCC output terminal.
A 3-V/5-V bidirectional level shifter translates the 3-V compatible logic signal on DATA terminal into a 5-V
compatible logic signal SIMDATA terminal, and vice versa. RST and CLK are unidirectional level shifters,
providing a 5-V SIMRST and SIMCLK signal from the microcontroller to the SIM card.
The SIM supply is operating provided SIMPWR = 1 and VDD is sufficient (> 2.7 V). Under this condition, SIMVCC
voltage is generated by the SIM supply charge pump.
A RESET terminal is provided for security reasons to switch off the SIM supply and interface if the SIM card is
disconnected or removed by accident.
The TSP9125 is packaged in TI’s thin shrink small-outline package (PW).

detailed description
voltage generator (charge pump)
The voltage generator can be programmed in two modes:
1. SIMPWR = 0: SIMVCC is left open, voltage generator disabled.
2. SIMPWR = 1: Depending on the signal on control terminal MODE, SIMVCC is either programmed to:
a. MODE = 0: 5 V ±10% (this is the default condition under which the system powers up),
or
b. MODE = 1: SIMV
The setting of the SIMVCC voltage (MODE = 0 or 1) can only be changed when SIMPWR is low. Therefore, as
specified in GSM11.12, supply voltage switching is performed by deactivating the SIM and activating it at the
new supply voltage.
In 5-V mode, a regulated charge pump is used to step-up the 3-V supply rail (min 2.7 V) to the 5-V supply rail.
The voltage generator uses two external capacitors, one pump capacitor connected between VCAP1 and
VCAP2 and one output buffer capacitor connected between SIMVCC and GND. It operates at a nominal
frequency of 800 kHz, and also supplies the integrated level shifters to allow for 5-V compatible logic signals
on SIMRST, SIMCLK, and SIMDATA.
is equal to the supply voltage VDD minus a voltage drop of 50 mV maximum.
CC
TPS9125
In 3-V mode, the supply voltage VDD is connected via an integrated PMOS switch to the SIMVCC output. The
charge pump, oscillator, and voltage reference are disabled in the 3-V mode to reduce power consumption. The
supply voltage of the integrated level shifters is V
minus a voltage drop of 50 mV maximum.
DD
control block
The control block uses the three control signals SIMPWR, MODE, and RESET to set the TSP9125 operation
modes.
When SIMPWR is set low, the TSP9125 goes to power-down mode. To comply with the ISO/IEC 7816-3
specification for deactivation of the SIM contacts, the input terminals RST, DA TA, and CLK must be low before
the SIMPWR terminal is allowed to be taken low. When SIMPWR is low, the SIMRST, SIMDA TA, and SIMCLK
terminals are kept low and SIMVCC is left open.
The RESET input is used to disable the TSP9125 in case the SIM card is removed from the reader under
operation. The input is therefore typically connected to a mechanical or other device used to detect the removal
of the SIM card. When RESET is taken low, the SIMDAT A, SIMCLK, and SIMRST terminals are taken low and
SIMVCC is left open, until RESET is taken high again.

detailed description (continued)
level shifters
The level shifters on TSP9125, when operating in the 5-V mode, convert a 3-V compatible logic signal from a
digital control chip (SIM Controller) into a 5-V compatible logic signal for the SIM Card.
Operating in the 3-V mode, the level shifters are disabled and only pass the signal through.
The level shifters for reset and clock signal are unidirectional (RST to SIMRST, CLK to SIMCLK). The level
shifter for the data signal is bidirectional, enabling signal exchange in both directions (DA TA to SIMDATA and
SIMDATA to DATA).
During power up and power down of the TSP9125, the voltage level on the SIMRST, SIMCLK, and SIMDAT A
terminals is kept below 0.4 V for currents less than 1 mA flowing into the TSP9125, provided VDD is applied.
pullup resistors
The DA TA and SIMDATA I/O pullup resistors are integrated in the device. The DATA resistor is 20 kΩ and the
SIMDATA resistor is 10 kΩ.
oscillator
An integrated RC oscillator provides the charge pump with a nominal clock frequency of 800 kHz.
voltage reference
An integrated bandgap reference provides a reference voltage of 1.192 V to the charge pump to control and
regulate the output voltage.
ESD protection
In a cellular telephone (GSM phone) the SIMRST, SIMCLK, and SIMDA TA terminals are connected directly to
the contacts of the SIM reader. This means they are accessible from the outside and therefore require increased
ESD protection. The terminals withstand 10 kV ESD when tested according to human body model (HBM),
100 pF through 1500 Ω.
