NOTE 1: It is assumed that a pull-up resistor is used in the interface device (recommended
value: 20 kΩ).
NOTE 2: During static conditions (idle state) only the positive value can apply. Under dynamic
operating conditions (transmission) short-term voltage spikes 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 V and Vcc + 0,3 V
during dynamic operation.
NOTE 4: This value applies when the low impedance buffer is selected.

When the UICC is in idle state, the current consumption shall not exceed 200 µA at 1 MHz at +25 °C. When the UICC
is in clock stop mode and no other interface is active, the current consumption shall not exceed the following limit:

spikes in the current consumption of the card up to a maximum charge of 12 nAs with and an amplitude of at most
