2.1 VIF Generation using TI's Application Customization Tool

The Vendor Information File (VIF) defines the capabilities of the end product which testers use to determine the applicable procedures and tests required to achieve USB Type-C and PD certification. Typically, the VIF is configured manually in the USB-IF recommended VIF Editor Tool.

TI's Application Customization Tool simplifies VIF generation by automatically generating a VIF based on the user's configuration. The generated VIF requires minimal changes, reducing common compliance failures related to manual entry of the VIF fields.

To generate a VIF using TI's Application Customization Tool, click on the Export drop-down button on the top-right side of the tool and click on Generate VIF file. This automatically downloads a file in .XML format to the default save directory on the user's computer. Refer to Figure 2-1.
