3.2 Detailed description of SIM18-EVB
The chapter introduces the functions of each component.
Figure 3: SIM18-EVB componts function
Note: The SIM18 with “S6103601” is SIM18-Z01, please see chapter 2.2 of “SIM18 HD
V1.00” for information of SIM18-Z01
A: USB interface, support USB communication with SIM18, and also power the SIM18-EVB.
B: RESET button, pressed to control SIM18-Z01 going into sleep mode.
C: ON_OFF button, pressed to wakeup SIM18-Z01 from sleep mode.
D: S301, select either USB VBUS or DC_5V to be the power source of SIM18-EVB.
E: DC_5V power adapter interface.
F: S302, select power source for either VCC_3V or VCC_RF_1V8 active antenna. When a passive
antenna is connected to RF interface, S302 must be unsoldered.
L: RF interface, can connect to active or passive antenna, as well as the GPS test equipment.
I: S101, select either VCC_3V or VCC_1V8 power source for the level shift chip.

3.2.1 USB Interface
There is one Mini-USB interface on SIM18-EVB, which is transferred to UART by a USB to
UART chip CP2103 on the EVB board. User need to install CP2103 driver in their PC first, then
connect the EVB board to the PC by a USB cable, and set S301 switch be VBUS to power the
SIM18-EVB.
Please download the latest CP2103 driver according to the PC’s OS from the following link:
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx
Or contact SIMCom support for it.
