[0022] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The structure and principle of the present application are very clear to those skilled in the art. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the SIM channel switching chip U2 in the embodiment shown. Figure 3 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the reset chip U3 in the illustrated embodiment.

Figure 6 for Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic of the eSIM card slot CON1 in the embodiment shown. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the pin definitions for the eSIM in this application.

[0024] Combination Figures 1 to 7 It is understood that the eSIM reversible insertion adaptive circuit of this application includes a main control module HOST1, an eSIM card slot CON1, a SIM channel switching chip U2, a reset chip U3, and a level conversion chip U4. The SIM signal interface of the main control module HOST1 is connected to SIM channel 1 (first SIM channel) of the SIM channel switching chip U2, and the SIM signal interface of the main control module HOST1 is connected to the level conversion chip U4. The level conversion chip U4 is connected to SIM channel 2 (second SIM channel) of the SIM channel switching chip U2, and the SIM main channel of the SIM channel switching chip U2 is... Connected to the eSIM card slot CON1, the reset chip U3 is connected to the control pins of the SIM channel switching chip U2 and the level conversion chip U4; the main control module HOST1 is used to read and identify the eSIM card, the eSIM card slot CON1 is used for inserting and fixing the eSIM card, the SIM channel switching chip U2 is used to switch the SIM channel, and the reset chip U3 is used for voltage identification and providing control signals; the reset chip U3 is used to output a reset signal according to the SIM level change of the main control module HOST1, and the reset signal is used to control the SIM channel switching chip U2 and the level conversion chip U4 respectively.

[0025] The level conversion chip U4 is used to perform SIM level conversion and simultaneously connect the main control module HOST1 side reset signal RST_HOST to the pin corresponding to the eSIM card side data signal DAT_1V8, and connect the main control module HOST1 side data signal DAT_HOST to the pin corresponding to the eSIM card side reset signal RST_1V8.

[0026] In this embodiment, the level conversion chip U4 is used to convert between 1.8V and 3.0V SIM levels. The main control module HOST1 is the main control platform or communication module, the SIM channel switching chip U2 is the SIM channel switching chip BCT4699, the reset chip U3 is the 2.6V reset chip SGM809-RXN3, and the level conversion chip U4 is the level conversion chip SGM4574.

[0027] Specifically, the main control module HOST1 is an IoT platform or communication module with card reading and identification capabilities. During the power-on process, it first starts with a 1.8V level to perform the card identification process. If the card identification fails, it will automatically start with a 3V level to perform the card identification process again. The mainstream eSIM is a 1.8V 5*6 package, and its three NC pins can be utilized.

[0028] Since the current mainstream eSIM uses 1.8V, successful recognition indicates the eSIM is inserted correctly; failure to recognize indicates the eSIM is inserted incorrectly, and HOST1 automatically enters the 3V card detection process. During the 3V card detection process, the entire SIM signal set at the HOST end, including VDD_HOST, is 3V. U3 is a 2.6V reset chip SGM809-RXN3, with a default output of low level. Its reset trigger level is 2.6V. After triggering, U3 outputs a high level. After the SW signal receives a high level, it will activate the U4 level conversion chip SGM4574. U4 converts the 3V SIM signal from HOST1 to 1.8V to adapt to the 1.8V eSIM. While U4 is converting the level, it also performs RST and DAT crossover to correct the incorrectly inserted eSIM. During this period, the U2 SIM channel switching chip SGM4699 also receives the SW signal, connecting the eSIM to the 1.8V SIM signal to ensure the correct eSIM level.

[0029] This application also provides an eSIM reversible insertion adaptive device, which includes the aforementioned eSIM reversible insertion adaptive circuit and an eSIM card. The first NC pin PIN2 of the eSIM card slot CON1 is connected to the clock signal pin CLK_ESIM of the eSIM card, the second NC pin PIN4 of the eSIM card slot CON1 is connected to the power supply pin VDD_ESIM of the eSIM card, and the third NC pin PIN5 of the eSIM card slot CON1 is grounded.
