Power Supply
VDD_EXT --- Output Pin
Voltage Reference for the Digital Interface.
Output Voltage : Vmax = 2.95 V, Vmin = 2.6 V, Vnorm = 2.80 V,
Design Rule : Iout(max) = 10mA
Logic Voltage Level :
VILmax=0.15 *VDD_EXT, VIHmin=0.85*VDD_EXT,
VILmin= 0V, VIHmax= VDD_EXT,
VOHmin= VDD_EXT - 0.1V, VOLmax=0.1V
VOHmax= VDD_EXT, VOLmin= 0V
VRTC --- Input or Output Pin
– Power input pin,
– Design Rule : Vmax=3.15V, Vmin=2.0V, Vnorm=3.0V
Iout(max)= 300uA, Iin=2 uA

Auto-Bauding
SIM900 supports baud rate from 1200 bps to 115200 bps, also support auto-
bauding mode.
When power on under auto-bauding mode, the first letter of command should
be uppercase, such as “AT” or “At”, otherwise, module will not give any
response. Usually, command with all uppercase letters are strongly
recommendatory.
