Notes:

1. The A5 pin (CC) of the USB Type-C plug should be connected to VBUS through a resistor, Rp. The following figure illustrates the functional model for a legacy host port connected to a UFP. This model has an adapter that presents itself as a host to the UFP. The adapter is either a USB Standard-A legacy plug or a USB Micro-B legacy receptacle on one end and the USB Type-C plug on the other end connected to a UFP. For more information about the functional description and value of Rp, refer to section 4.5.3.2.2 and Table 4-10 of the USB Type-C Specification Revision 1.1.

2. The A5 pin (CC) of the USB Type-C plug should be connected to GND through a resistor, Rd. The following figure illustrates the functional model for a DFP connected to a legacy device port. This model has an adapter present as a UFP to the DFP. The adapter has a USB Type-C plug on one end connected to the DFP, and either a USB Standard-B plug, USB Micro-B plug, USB Mini-B plug, or a USB Standard-A receptacle on the other end. For more information about the functional description and value of Rd, refer to section 4.5.3.2.1 and Table 4-14 of the USB Type-C Specification Revision 1.1.
